We enjoyed Hong Kong very much. Coming out from Beijing, it was like a breath of fresh air - the pollution there isn't as bad - but being understood by almost everyone was truly wonderful. Anyway, though our visit was mainly for reasons pertaining to visa extentions we tried to cramp in shopping and some sightseeing. Shopping was good - bought lots of stuff for Tom - and we also replaced our not-working camera with a new slim version.
Not that we went into every shopping mall but our favourite shopping centre was the Harbour City on the Kowlood part of the territory. The night cruise around Victoria Harbour in a Chinese junk called aqualuna was also enjoyable. The sound and light show was good too but think it would have been better, we think, if we were watching from the Kowloon side of the harbour instead of being on the boat. Anyway, the tram up to The Peak was also interesting and the views of HK from up there is fabulous.
Why Tom had fun? He got to go on an underground train (much better than the London underground btw), a boat, a tram, saw helicopters or helicop as he calls them, a car, a bus and if you include the plane ride well that just made his day. As you might have gathered by now - he loves anything mechanical.
