Hong Kong: When we planned to add Hong Kong as part of the itinerary, we did not know quite what we


Hong Kong: When we planned to add Hong Kong as part of the itinerary, we did not know quite what we were coming to. We certainly enjoyed ourselves mass, and after a little gratuitous start of stay, it certainly met all expectations so long! FOR A CITY! Having so lots to tell! Even an hour from the city on the way in it was both fascinating beall s and overwhelming to look out the bus window, but when we jumped off the bus in the world famous Nathan Road, we were suddenly nothing but small ants in a well-organized anthill of flashing neon lights, double-decker buses, cars, brand shops, large displays, advertising, countless hipsters, business people and merchants-all framed by skyscrapers and high-rises on all sides. So beat the feeling of powerlessness in, and we began to wonder if we really had chosen the right city. Even with a map the size of Skotbu it took us a long time to arrive at Chung King Mansions, we got recommended as the place to stay by the tour desk at the airport. "Fortunately," there was an Egyptian-inder on the street who crouched hold of us and showed us a business card with just this name and said we should follow. When we arrived we were pretty confident that he had deceived us, for it was like stepping out of Hong Kong and into a busy Indian market that smelled of curry and curry sweats and worse. When the elevator stopped on the 13th floor and we got to see the room, things got really worse, but naive as we are, we thought it well the way it should be, and we paid. The room was not ready until the evening so we did also get a couple of hours to look elsewhere-THANKFULLY!
At the other end of the Indian market went up the elevator to another world compared to the hostel egypt-the Indian ours had shown us. At the price we got a small room with bathroom and shower with paint peeling off the walls and putrid odor with him, we got here is still a little room, but nice and clean with toilet and shower. It was not so difficult to make the decision beall s to move, but to get the money back from the type of the other place, however ... it was not so fun. Although he in no way had held the agreement to fix us a room for the night, and it certainly is required to give back the money as long as it is not signed any contract, so he refused. Is certainly not always it helps to smile nicely and be nice! We could certainly call the police if we wanted it, because he had not received any money from us and had really never seen us before when he thought about it. The frustration you feel then. Ah. The advantage of that is then in Asia, is that one is gigantic and a little scary, and it ended with us almost all the money back. Win!
sink one garbage cans, one boiler AND a showerheads. With little time to think and concentrate, it took us only a few minutes beall s to walk to the pier and we could end the evening with the stunning Symphony of Lights beall s in Hong Kong Skyline and Ladies' Market in Mong Kok. We got us through such a Octupus Card, which you can use as train, bus, tram and ferry ticket in town, and to pay for both McDonald's and supermarkets around. 've Almost managed to integrate beall s us into one of the world's most globalized cities!
Life is wonderful, and Hong Kong is fabulous! & N
