Good posts I enjoyed your HK (and other) posts. I read several parts to my wife. We always stop off in HK going to and coming from SE Asia, so have been many times.
Good writing, good travels. Thanks for posting
Loved your hospital experience Sorry you got sick but loved hearing about the adventure. Don't eat anything unless you see them cook it. The photos of your wonton noodles looks great. Glad that didn't make you sick. Stay healthy and happy travels.
part of the experience Don’t mind the rudeness. They have to server thousands of patrons each day and since business is that good, no need to be polite. But call it sadomasochism, I enjoy the rudeness. I see it being part of the adventure.
did you check out lady street? Temple street sells weird and used items such as bras, sex toy, but what's interesting there is the fortune tellers. But did you check out lady street? I like that more, there's much more to see and some street food along the street. I don't recommend eating there though since it's more for gau-low.
I also saw your post in facebook, with John in the 7-11 store at the airport. And when you mentioned muggy/humid, it takes me back and I swear I smelled the scent of AC. Nevertheless, Amy and I are very jealous.
Yes, temple street did have the sex toy sold from carts, I thought it was such an odd thing and John thought it was a hoot. We wandered and walked around and actually went from temple street to the fruit wholesale market, but it wasn't open yet so we kept walking around until we actually came upon Ladies market. we just walked through (very crowded) since on route back through HK to fly back to SFO we will be staying in Mong Kok so we will explore it more. Jeff I don't remember if you said you liked Malaysia, I really like KL much more than HK on food and crowd-wise.
Have a great trip Tanya,
Have a great trip. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures and seeing some pix. It'll be a while until I travel to the far east so I'll have to depend on you to tell us what's it's like.
Enjoy the trip! I am looking forward to knowing more about your trip. I want to travel too, but it is hard with two small kids and my parents. I may plan something this summer. Remember to send us photos.
life is a journey! Hurray! once you get bitten with the bug, you don\'t really care to be in the states. if you are ever in Taipei, Taiwan. You can check out the restaurant we opened while i was there recently. www.fire-bite.com or facebook.com/firebitekitchen
enjoy your adventure!

we seriously only ate like breads, pizzas and pastas in Italy. Not much else. We didn't really have salamis or cheeses here, not sure why. more pictures later when I get the chance to organize them more!
I know!! there's hardly any soup here in Italy. I was actually thinking about you today when we were trying to find a room in Rome!! I used Romeby.com to get a room at The Right Place, whew!
