We arrived in Hong Kong last week, albeit it a drawn out process. Our Virgin Atlantic flight was cancelled as one of the engines was only working at 75% capacity. I was most happy to be told we will not be getting on this plane, and we were sent home overnight.
I have been very sick with some dreaded cough and cold, so was a little relieved to have an extra recovery day and made another dash to the doctor the next morning for some more antibiotics. Just as I left the surgery, I got the call we had to be at the airport in 2 hours to get a Singapore flight. Panic stations! We raced to the airport and flew via Singapore.
As you can imagine we were very tired, and I felt like crap and was coughing all the way - but everyone was pleased as I had lost my voice so didn't talk.
Our digs are very basic but the rooms are clean and servied daily. We are in a good location close to Kowloon Tong Station and the Bakers. It only costs AUD$2 in the cab. Cabs here are everywhere, however, they drive a bit crazy and traffic is mad. I am used to it now.
I also am used to tunnels and crowded subways. Everything is underground and I have actually managed the MTR (trains) very well. Hong Kong is a busy place with so many people, however, the transport systems is wonderful. All traffic both cars and people just seems to flow beautifully.
The people are very friendly and helpful. You can walk around the streets late at night as it a very safe country.
