HKG was fun! Once we got over the Hawkers at every @#$! 10 paces (Rel they drove us nuts) 'you want rolex, you buy rolex, why you go? rolex v.cheap...you come back!" Had lovely time on HKG isle going upto Vitoria Peak. Impressed by city infrastructure a one we got out of shopping area the nice locals like Mrs Wong, Traditional Chines Physician who fied Mel's very sore neck and shoulder. We had to seek her out through older porter in the hotel, apparently requests for Traditional Chinese Physicians are rare. We were very pleased to find Mrs Wong as she really sorted out Mel's neck and left her wearing a poltis of Chinese herbs across her shoulder and neck for 10 hours. Makes us very happy that we have our Guru Mark Bayley back in New Farm who is equally as good as these practitioners in the 'home country'.
We happened across 'The Modern Toilet Restaurant' while we were in Mong Kok and decided to go there for lunch. It is very funny, sitting on toliets witha washbasin as a table and eating out of replica toilet bowls and off replica toilet seats. Drinks are served in replica urinals.
In the afternoon we hit the 'Ladies Markets' in Mong Kok. They were probably the best shopping experience and there were even some stalls where they had set prices and did not barter! (thanks Rel - great tip to go here).
Back to the hotel to wash and pack up for the 11 hour flight to Helsinki. It was a short stay and we wished we had got to Ocean Park to see the Pandas, but truth be told a short time in HK was fine for us. Next time I would go out to look at the country and where see more of the scenery, probably get a kayak to do the harbour!
