Hong Kong

Rain , rain go away. What do you think of the Hong Kong skyline. Wall to wall skyscrapers.

There isn’t much open space for children. Shopping and working seem to be the main activities. People live in tiny apartments so entertaining happens in restaurants.

Plan for the day: Sampan ride , visit Stanley Markets, ride the Star Ferry, and ride the funicular to the top of Mt Victoria to see the view. Are you happy with that?

You can tick that box. There used to be heaps of fishing and squid boats in the harbour but now it is cheaper to keep your boat on mainland China. There are less restrictions.

Stanley Markets is located on the waterfront on the Southeast Side of the island. This is more favourable to Chinese as the south is the entrance to Heaven. Here there are many villas and expensive apartments.

Fun fact ….70% of the land in Hong Kong is unsuitable for buildings . The soil washes away in heavy rain and they have mudslides. No I didn’t buy anything in the market…did you? Didn’t think so.

Next stop Mt Victoria. Some unusual choices of smoothies. Not for me …..

It is rather foggy! 

Let’s take the funicular

New tram!

The floor is all wavy. It makes me feel weird.Does it affect you?

Star ferry next . Someone keeps telling me I threw out his 1976 Kowloon first class ticket so I am getting him two new ones.

Near the ferry terminal are some interesting sights.
