It was fine. Nice to get away to temperatures about 20 degrees or so rather than bloody snow. It did dare to rain one though! The upgrade to First Class made a pleasant start. Unfortunately I ended up with a dodgy tummy - first time ever in HK - which rather spoilt things for a couple of days. However the rest of the food was great and so ludicrously cheap it's unreal. I seemed to provide the locals with much amusement while trying to eat some Vietnamese Spring Rolls. You have to wrap them in lettuce, add in some herbs and then dip them. I got there in the end but not without some very bemused expressions from around the restaurant. Still delicious though as was the duck curry with garlic bread. Bought far too many CDs but at about £7 rather than £13 I'm unable to resist. The markets of Mong Kok were as crazy as ever, I went back to Temple Street night market for the first time in years which was fine but loaded with tourist tat. Unfortunately there were no fireworks for New Year's Eve which meant that was a bit of a disappointment as I'd headed over to Kowloon to see them as best as I could in amongst the huge throng of people. The HK police have been equipped with Honda VFR police bikes which was an odd sight as the visual image didn't quite match the engine note IYSWIM. I also don't believe that Dodger's Wing only did 10,000 miles this year as I am sure I saw it near my hotel with all the lights on display! I'm daft but I'm not that daft. These things happen. I think I simply failed to shut it down properly before I went on holidays and something has gone wrong which is preventing it from starting up properly.
I have a minimum of 20 degrees cut off for when I escape Xmyth. It was around 28 degrees in Egypt, but not a pleasant atmosphere. Jammy git I was very, very sea sick on the 25th if that's any consolation. Garlic bread is the last thing I'd expect to find in HK. Old stuff or new? I seem to be listening to the CD equivalents of comfort food atm. Oh yes. I don't think I'd like the huge crowds. I saw a Virago and lots of mopeds. Could have been the Blingmobile. Or has WUN admitted defeat on the bling stakes?

Not sure Egypt would be my choice of destination. Well one tries. There is a clear French influence in Vietnamese food. You can eat your way round the world very easily in HK. I simply toddled off down the road and found all sorts of great restaurants within 5-10 mins walk. I must work out how Japanese food works as there are several places near the hotel but I'm not sure what all the different styles of food are.

I'll not be going back unless there are dramatic changes. If this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4568340.stm had happened before we left I wouldn't have gone. sniplet If I'd thought about the history for a milli second.. I shall take a wander across to amazon for this. Excellent album. I've got her 'when the prawn' but it never really hooked me. Only heard the single(s?) so far, I've got the first 4 albums so no doubt this will make an appearance at some point. snip
