bad news 12 Jul 2004 Hongkong After the 4 months trip and an unexpected home coming. Here is my conclusion for the journey. For India…as a lot of people said…you love it and hate it. But for me…I think I don’t hate it but I definitely don’t like it! But it help me realized something new about China. I used to complained and rebuked about many thing in China, not agree with many decision which made by the communist government. But after the Indian trip, I began to appreciated what we already had in China, our government actually was doing something to its people, we did something for the environment no matter how minimum it was, the country seem clean and smelless which compare with India while they claimed their country is 20 years ahead of ... read more

What am amazing place. I think our first challenge arrived in the form of the Hong Kong airport. For those of you who don't know, the airport here has 70+ gates, and is divided into completely separate buildings, so you have different building around which the planes park... so how do u get to the main entrance?? you go downstairs to a level that's underground, and then u stand there for a long time and wonder why u've ended up in a big room with 1 wall that's seethrough glass.

Woke about half an hour before the alarm was due to go off - 6.15am – but with still so many little jobs to do I’m glad I did. Mum & Dad arrived right on time, 8am and we were ready to go.

Peak hour traffic didn’t help our cause, but we still managed to get to Adelaide Airport with plenty of time to spare. Checking in was easy – my backpack weighs 12.9 kilos, Tony’s about ... read more

Hong Kong. A city of eclectic tastes, cultures, races, beliefs, lifestyles and colour. This was our destination for our Honeymoon. What a wonderful choice. We loved Hong Kong, China and Macau. We both liked different things about each. We enjoyed the vibrancy of the area, that it seems to never sleep, there is always something going on. We enjoyed the richness of the area as well as the markets and stalls run by everyday people. We had fun communicating with people who didn't know our language and we didn't know theirs. Relationships were established through gesture and smiles. Smiles speak all languages, and laughter speaks all languages as well. Despite the fact our communication was limited with some people, we had the ability to laugh with people and about ourselves. We ate where the locals ate, ... read more
