Nia Hao!

It has taken some work but we finally have some photos for you. We are having to negotiate a Chinese system on the computer and do not have the CD to change it to English language! Anyway, TwoWheelsWhirled loves a challenge :-) :-)

So, back to Hong Kong.

Here is our double size hotel room - no bigger than a broom cupboard!


Chungking Mansions - where we chose not to stay! (I wonder if the rooms were any bigger!)


As we were in Hong Kong we just HAD to sample the Dim Sum :-) and then some more... We chose our dishes from the trolleys that are pushed around the restaurant, the waitresses shout out the contents.


The Dim Sum was devoured within 30 seconds because it was so tasty :-)(here is K waiting for the Ready-Set-Go :-)


...Neither of us fancied buying any of these flattened steamed ducks (complete with head) for nourishment.


The bike store in Mong Kok (a Trek dealer) where we purchased our bike bags for our future travels.


Can you imagine my delight when I spotted this Honda CB400 Super Four in parked up! This one was the same model as mine, the owner had just made a few modifications.


Another exciting moment for me - I spotted my first Wing Chun martial arts training school sign :-) :-)


...and to add to the excitement I saw this statue of the greeting that we used in Wing Chun. In fact when we went to the bike shop in Mong Kok, Ha Wai Kwang used this as we said goodbye :-) :-)


Inside the shopping mall at Times Square on Hong Kong Island. There were 13 floors, the external lifts with glass walls were great to ride in :-)


Some street shots from Kowloon. This is Nathan Road.

Skyscrapers were in abundance, as I mentioned before, they claustrophobically build 'em high in Hong Kong.

Just when you thought that there could be no space for any more people on the streets, night time arrived and humans multiplied.


English language was very helpful.


We took a ferry from Kowloon to Hong Kong.

We saw some more traditional style boats.


...heading to the Star ferry terminal.



Looking across to Hong Kong Kong Island at night from Kowloon and the Avenue of Stars.



The Avenue of Stars had some of the greatest Hong Kong film directors and movie stars. Here is Chow Yun Fat.


...and me comparing my hand size to Jackie Chan's :-)


We just had to have a pint in the Murphy's pub on Nathan road to celebrate :-)
