So lets all be honest here I suck at keeping blogs. Lee has managed to update hers at least four times since we arrived. I've done it once. Opps.
So Hong Kong eh....Its basically a giant shopping mall who main tourist attractive seems to play off the fact that ppl are excited to be in hong kong!! All there is to do is look at hong kong from different angles....boat, cable car, bus, foot, mountain etc... and it is not cheap dont let ppl fool ya!! We did do good as tourists though following the correct levels af awe and amazement!! We went to the big buddha, a theme park, a really long escalattor through hong kong city (as exciting as it seems..the pub was the best bit..) Then there was the humity which was SHOCKING!! it felt like someone repeatedly hitting you in the face with a big stick of hotness everytime youn left the hostel!!
The hostel was set in a building site that looked like a slum!! I may have already written about this but it cannot be over said!! Our room was nice with its shower cum toilet! you could do both at once gross i know :)
As is always the way with travelling the ppl were the best part!! the first was a nice chinese man the first day on the subway who helped us figure out the map!! then the hostal ppl, some irish girls we met and went drinking with!! if a club is called sticky fingers lets assume its not that nice :P the girls were lovely though!! Pics to follow :)
But mainly as anyone looking at my facebook knows it was all about the marines!! Not only were they some of the loviest people i ever met they also refused to let us pay for ANYTHING!! Hong Kong had sunddenly get alot cheaper!! We met Anthony, Tom and Kiefer at an irish pub (Two doors down from the hostel...couldnt even last two days out of the coutry...and dont even mention the joy we felt when we found M&S) and spend that evening and the next day with them.
Jager bombs at three o'clock, space museums, AC/DC hat(thank you Anthony), Ten chips, Check in and pictures with men in uniform...it was an amazing experience which has clearly been censored...call me for the uncensored version :P
No news from auckland YET :P I will get some for you all soon and update slightly more regularily....eh probably not...
