Hong Kong Fooy (D2)

Oh brilliant. I woke up at 3.20....am. Left arm asleep. Frightened the life out of me, but OK. You all must be getting ready for bed and I'm wide awake. It's now 6.30. Too tired to read but not tired enough to sleep.

Ah breakfast. Breakfast is rather weird in HK. It could be any time of day food. There's toast if you fancy it, or spicy soup, fried rice, boiled egg and strange fruit. Well you got to have a go at all that, init Steve... Restaurant opens in an hour. Marvelous.

It turns out the beer first night was about £6 not £10, as originally thought, so feel much better about that. Last nights world famous Hong Kong goose has given me indigestion.

My up graded room is rather nice. It's two rooms really. A bed room and en-suit, and a sitting room. TV is of course in Chinese, well Cantoneses I suppose. Apart from BBC world. Did you know that Africa has had a raw deal from the West all these years and the Russian economy isn't as brilliant as everyone thinks?
The view from the room is grey. The concrete blocks merge into the sky as if this horizon is still to be coloured in.
It's raining outside. Of course why wouldn't it ? The transfer to the airport is due in 12 hours and I didn't pack my umbrella. For Australia. Silly really. Now I'll have to wander around in the rain.

Feeling slightly vulnerable on own, just in case anything happens, no reason why it should. Just. Well, what if it does. But it wont.

I'm going to explore a bit more of HK today and let you know aaaall about it. I think there's a park somewhere. There must be. It can't all be concrete.

That's good, it's getting lighter outside. I think I'll run a bath. My arm is OK now. I think Australia will be good.
