Aberdeen fish market

South of the island, in aberdeen, there is a fish market where probably all the fishes sold in any restaurant in Hong Kong are coming from. Clearly not a place for tourists but that's not the kind of things that stops me. If you decide to go, be prepared. Best thing is to have plastic boots....

Hong Kong

The first thing that strikes you when you arrive in Hong Kong is the humidity. I compare this climat to the one of Rio de Janeiro with the difference that, here, you have a very heavy city smog. Saying this explains already why this city is not for me. The fact that 7 millions people are living...

24 HOURS IN HONG KONG

12 hours after tearful farewells at Heathrow we arrived at our first stop, a fleeting visit to Hong Kong. Despite being extremely tired, we decided not to succumb to sleep but to head straight out. Having been in Hong Kong numerous times, we wanted to go to somewhere we hadn't been before -...

stop doing that - whatever it is!

My last day in Hong Kong today. Get up, check-out, get my backpack stowed away by the incredibly efficient hotel staff, and then return to the Jade Market. It's really muggy today, a change from the past few days where it has veered from warm to chilly enough for a hoodie. Despite having...

nice suit for you? ...um, no

I headed down Nathan Road to the Star Ferry terminal today, dodging the tailor touts and fake designer watch/bag sellers ( i perfected my thousand-mile stare in a number of trips up and down the road; do I really look like the kind person who wants a suit or covets fake Gucci arm-furniture?). ...

markets and temples

After losing half a day to jet-lag (got up, had breakfast, went back to room and decided to have a little lie-down, woke up four hours late), I decide to check out some of markets and temples in Kowloon. I check the map and then wander about slightly aimlessly - it suits my groggy state and...

Hong Kong - thronging, colourful, buzzing and altogether not too good for a person with jetlag....

I arrived in Hong Kong closely resembling a person who had been trapped in a box, breathing re-circulated air, being fed microwaved food and having bad TV pumped into their eye sockets for twelve hours. Perhaps this was unsurprising, as that was exactly what had happened to me. The less said...
