We woke up kind of late today and decided to go check out the Hong Kong museum since it’s free on Wednesdays. It was a bit of a far walk since no subways go near that area but it’s always nice to walk around the city. The museum was a typical museum, interesting to see [...]
Today was day 2 of the Chinese New Year. We walked around a bit and went for a ride on what is supposedly the world’s longest escalator. It did seem pretty long as it pretty much took you across town.
After getting off of that we checked out another temple which was cool but very similar [...]
Today we had to check out of our hotel and check into a different one because we were only able to book the first 3 nights at our first hotel due to the Chinese New Year. On the bright side though, this hotel is even nicer and it was right down the block. We are [...]
Today we went to go see Victoria Peak. It’s kind of like going to the top of the Eiffle Tower when you go to Paris. You take a tram up a huge mountain and there is an awesome view of Hong Kong. It was very high and open, and tons of mountains and skyscrapers.
It’s hard [...]
Today we were still pretty exhausted and jet lagged; I am trying to adjust to Hong Kong time and it’s a little bit difficult. We took the subway and went to this mall called Pacific Place on Hong Kong Island which was a nice shopping mall with restaurants and an AMC theater. We wanted to [...]
We finally got to Asia and it was a very long flight. We were too tired to really do anything but Hong Kong seems pretty cool. We did a lot of walking around and walked to the night market, where they had pretty much any designer knock off you could think of and everything was [...]
Well it was a huge pain in the ass getting to Hong Kong but I figured it would be. We had to wake up at like 6:30am to catch our flight and since it cost 60 pounds last time to take a taxi from the airport, and the shuttle didn’t run that early, we decided [...]
Today we took the chunnel back to London because we were flying to Hong Kong and apparently it’s cheaper to do that from there then from Paris. By the time we got there it was almost dark.. this time of year in many places it gets dark way too early. It starts to get dark [...]
Today was our last day in Paris. We got to do the Eiffle Tower tour which was awesome, it was really reallly high and an amazing view of everything. We tried to get over to Pere Lachaise but it was quite a journey and we decided half way through we would save it for when [...]
Well, for those of you that also read Joe’s blog (mom & dad for example) probably already know this story but I’ll go over it again anyways.
We started off the day by deciding to go on the Eiffle tower tour. Once we got in the area, some lady that is walking the opposite direction of [...]
