We’ve moved hotels now. For the first few days we were in a hotel in Kowloon but now we’re on Tsing Ye Island on the Gold Coast, it’s quieter but more tourist in nature. The hotel overlooks the sea and a pair of golden dolphins – the fine art of chav not having overlooked the region it seems.
Food here is a strange mix of just about everything in a style all of its own that is called fusion. For example for breakfast there was pretty much everything on offer from cooked to cereal to fruit to rice to curry to Miso soup. There was even turnip cake.
Yesterday was a bit of a mish mash of exploring as we waited to transfer between hotels. We explored along Nathan Road and Canton Road as we looked for a tailor for G’s mum, there was a throbbing, seething mass of people lining the streets looking for the latest bargains in the plethora of designer shops.
The transfer itself was a bit arduous as the hotel room was not ready when we arrived and by this point G was very tired. The working week is a lot longer in Hong Kong, they only take Sunday’s off and socializing for work goes on late into the evening. Yesterday was the first day G had to herself for over a week and so she was pretty much wiped out.
Once we got to the room we just chilled out with both of us falling asleep ridiculously early. Today is a rest day before hitting the sights tomorrow but we ventured down to the local shopping centre to do a bit of orientating to the area – then back to the hotel to chill out in the various facilities.
There have been no more signs of holy men.
