Well day two in Hong Kong was a busy one. I started at the Art Gallery where I saw lots of traditional prints and some very interesting installations made entirely of human hair. Then to the history museum where I saw Hong Kong from the prehistoric times to today. very interesting but too much to take in in one hour. Then to the space museum to see the omnimax of Tom Hanks walking on the moon. Neat to watch on a globe screen and interesting seeing info on the 6 landings on the moon between 1969 and 72. Then I had a look through the craft markets on my way to the star ferry to Hong Kong Island. I went by cable car up Victoria peak to see the islands from far up and it was a beautiful view. made kinda romantic due to the haze/mist that is currently hanging over the city and the sunset. Then it was off to the ladies market and electrical shops before dropping dead back at the luxury coffin.
Hong Kong is really good for shopping but at the same time the whole spitting thing and the meat sitting out in the hot air and sun are both yuk. Oh and the being yelled at as hello missy all day is a bit tiresome as well. but would come back to shop.
This was Hong Kongs Hottest October since 1886 apparently somewhat due to the CO2 emmisions in the air.
Happy halloween to all for tomorrow.
