HK 3, wandering around (and some photos I forgot from day 1).
In the interests of not bombarding you with a single page containing 100+ photos, I’m splitting them up into arbitrary and fluid categories.
And then bombarding you with multiple updates, each containing fewer than 100 photos.
Impulse-buying a bed sheet comforter is often what I think about when I’m waiting in a departure lounge.
This proud billboard was at Bangkok’s Don Muang airport. Don Muang is obviously (and correctly) not the pride of Thailand.For all your whitening needs.I got pretty excited by the underground robot train that takes you between terminals at Hong Kong airport.This particularly ingenious and tourist-friendly journey progress indicator was on the Airport Express train into the city. The train also had USB charging points in the back of every seat. Hong Kong is the best.Hong Kong trains don’t have doors between carriages – it’s just one gloriously long bendy tube.Shortly after arriving at our hotel, we had a knock on the door and a delivery of fruit. With knife and fork.11:30pm room service dinner. I had fried noodles and vegetables, and Esther had her first introduction to Hainanese Chicken Rice. The fruit knife and fork came in quite handy here, as despite the fact it was clearly way too much food for one person, they had only supplied one set of chopsticks.Welcome.Red bean steamed bun. Possibly more delicious than fried red bean cake.Hong Kong – the Holland of Southern China. Actually, for all I know land reclamation is quite common in China, at the very least there’s a bit of it happening in the South China Sea.When I first thought this I assumed it was some kind of gargantuan croquembouche. Turns out it kind of is. Only instead of choux pastry balls they are Chinese buns.I wish I had a giant postage stamp to hang on my wall.Alleys are pretty awesome.
Architecture is just art that you live in.
They have a West Wing too.We were pretty excited that Hong Kong had such mod cons as Ikea, and other shops where things we are used to can be purchased.I also bought this exciting new computer.This is what happens when you let stained glass out of the church.To a greater or lesser degree, this is what it looked like most of the time we were there.Esther gazes at the harbour.Still foggy.Just a bouy, floating in a harbour, waiting for someone to love him.Esther not singing in the rain.Strictly light refreshments only.
