Well, once again I can say "we're back"! From where? Hong Kong! Again.
This time we stayed in Kowloon for the first time, which was good. The view from the waterfront looking at Hong Kong island is really, but apart from that I think I still prefer to be on the island.
We spent a lot of time walking around looking at stuff, getting very hot and drinking lots of water (how's that for a detailed description!); a very welcome change from the screamingly harsh conditions here (which by the way are no better yet it's -5C tonight and we had fresh snow yesterday). And eating of course! I think we're starting to get a reputation for basing our travel around food...oh well, if anyone ever needs any restaurant recommendations, feel free to ask!

One thing we hadn't seen before was the Avenue of Stars, where you can see handprints of famous Hong Kong actors like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-Fat etc.) On April 1st, there was a big event held there to commemorate the death of Leslie Cheung, three years ago.

(if you want to know more about him, you could do worse than to ask Miwako!)

That's all for now, I might post some more pics later.

Comments:
