It's a great place - so cosmopolitan and yet totally chinese at the same time.
View from 'The Peak' - Kowloon and Hong Kong Island
The Peak at night
We enjoyed yum cha (i think thats the term for dumplings and tea) and did a LOT of walking in the boiling heat around the city - the gold fish market, the watch market, the flower market, the bird market, the dried squid market. My favourite was the 'ladies' market where I got some great cheap clothes and shoes in preparation for job hunting in Melbourne.
Nick got to eat his pig's ear (which he was dying to try) ...mmmmm nice.
We stayed in a little 'pod' in a hotel block next door to the Chum Ching mansions - really cramped and noisy but definately an experience.
Here are some pics....
Ten years of independence.
In my element at the Ladies market.
