Woah, it's been a crazy few days. Just trying to relax after the trip in China and also yesterday celebrated my birthday. Gosh, yet again a year older and I hope also smarter. I started going through the million pictures I have from Hong Kong and other cool places therefore I finally have something to share! Here are a few pictures from the very first day we arrived in HK, we arrived in the afternoon and because of that my pictures from this day are mostly night time.
Our first pictures are of the walls of our little hotel room. HK is wonderful place to visit but expensive to stay in and as both my flights were either to HK and from HK so I managed to stay in two different places. The first hotel was Hop Inn in Tsim Sha Tsui district, very easy to find and the environment around the place was not in anyway threatening. I can't say that for the other place we stayed in. The second place we stayed in was a guesthouse in Chungking Mansion and getting to the place was difficult and uncomfortable. Chungking Mansions bottom floor has a lot of little shops with a lot of pushy sales people that love to stare at a little blond finnish girl, but then again the room was cheap. So my suggestion is to stay at Hop Inn, its convenient and affordable.
On the first night Panda and I met up with on of Panda's friends. It was nice to have a local guide to navigate in the new city. Hong Kong in my mind at least has this distinct feature with the ad boards that are on every street in bright colors and fill up the space between the buildings. Sometimes you feel worried that they might just fall on you, but they seem to withstand typhoons!!! That was something I witnessed during the latter visit to Hong Kong. Also the typhoon was said to be the strongest they've had for 13 years, aaww HK wanted to make me feel special on my visit. Honestly speaking, I was freaking out the entire night the storm was raging, and we even made our flight the very next day though it was a bit delayed. Oh yeah in the upper picture there is a add for a Sauna which is called in Cantonese a Finnish shower :)
