A Land of Luck and Good Friends!
I'm coming towards the end of the Hong Kong part of my trip (sadly). I really love Hong Kong...it is a wonderful mix of stunning architecture and green, mist covered hills. There seems to be a clear divide between rich and poor. The rich reside in the highlands and the poor in the lowlands where space is at a minimum.
Today was a refreshing exchange with a retired south african professor of English Literature on my half day tour of Hong Kong. He has been giving lectures (his specialism is Shakespeare) in Australia and thought it would be great to see a bit of the east on the his return journey to London (where he has lived for 16 years).
We got on so well we ended up having lunch and a sushi dinner together. Then he bought me a few beers, we exchanged emails and said our goodbyes.
I stayed on Kowloon before going home. I wanted to see Hong Kong Island in lights and by 7:30p.m. it did not disappoint. I rarely have something that 'takes my breath away' but this was simply stunning.

HI Jean
Hong Kong sounds wonderful, I am so glad you saw the lights of the Island - it rates highly in my memories too, especially the reflections in the water!
My nephew also has a blog page and he is managing to put on photos. Apparently just using a USB lead - good luck!

Hi Jean
This blog thing is great !!
Hong Kong is good isnt it. I must admit when we went there after China we did not enjoy but I think I would quite like to go back there now.
We are checking your house today and am sure there will be nothing intoward to report !!
Carry on having a good time and meeting those interesting people.
