Our friends from Australia, Alex and Polly, are on a 2-week holiday in their native country (Hong Kong) and we came to meet with them. Hubby and I took the 3PM ferry boat to Hong Kong on Saturday and we arrived there at past 5PM. As previously arranged, Alex and Polly were already there to meet us in the terminal. Polly suggested we eat some snacks first in the food court because both of them had an early lunch and they had already walked from Mong Kok to Tsim Sha Tsui since 2:30PM (if you can look at a map of Kowloon you will know how far this is).

Our first trip out of China since moving here last August was to Hong Kong in September 22-23. Although it was a short and official trip, I was still excited because finally I can see Hong Kong outside of the airport! I had been to Hong Kong twice before but every time it was just to pass through for my onward journeys to other destinations. We went to Hong Kong by ferry from the Shunde port. The trip took 2 hours and I was surprised to find some familiar inscriptions on the glass window (see photo). There were no interesting sights during the majority of the ferry boat ride until you reach Hong Kong territory and you see the harbors of both Kowloon and Hong Kong island. It was really just like in the movies! First ... read more
