Hong Kong - Our First Overseas Destination

by CandS - last update: Nov 27, 2005

Where's Wally?! (we're in there somewhere)
My boyfriend and I visited Hong Kong in July/August 1999. My Korean friend Hyeran invited us to meet her there for a short holiday since it was kind of 'half way' for us both so we decided "why not!!?" :)

We only spent a week in Hong Kong and stayed in a nice hotel called the Marco Polo in Kowloon. Neither of us had ever been overseas before so it was all new and exciting for us both! I think Hong Kong was a great place to start though. It is so very different to Australia in almost every way!!

Our trip to Hong Kong made us want to travel more so that's when we started planning our trip to Europe! :) We could have visited Hong Kong again on our way over to Europe but we decided it would be better to visit another country...so instead we stopped off in Singapore... I'm sure we will go back to Hong Kong some day though...

 Your Hong Kong tips are great! We're going for a 2nd time next year. Thoroughly enjoyed them.

 For an Aussie I can't believe your comment about Chinese tea with a meal. What do you expect: Coke or a milkshake? When in Rome...

 Seems lik you managed to see a lot during your one week. Make sure to come back one day soon. HK changed a lot since 99 and it's such a fabulous place to be. Since you have a Korean friend: any plans to visit Korea yet? Cheers, Robert
