Stopover in Hong Kong

En route to Sydney we spent 2 days in this exciting city. I had never been in this part of the world before and I was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and excitement of an oriental city with (lots of) western flair.

Of course, 2 days was way too short a time to really get to know the city, but we got a nice overview nonetheless and I'd certainly recommend Hong Kong to any traveller!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Cheap, efficient, exciting!
  • Cons:Not for those in search of peace...
  • In a nutshell:East meets West - the cliché is true!

    I will visit Hong Kong again on March 2005 and nice to explore your Hong Kong page and tips. If you like to visit Asia again, don't forget Thailand. Anyway, how tall are you??? :-)
