    Lol, Hong Kong is the only country I actually feel times went very slow... In a way that my 5 days holiday felt like 2 weeks, I.e. It's tiring. Prefer Japan :p

    I love it too. I hear they are giving away free one way tickets to China if you visit certain book shops.

    School back today so had to set the alarm for the first time in 8 weeks :confused:

    We don't often go away for hols - having a menagerie of pets - but even a day at the beach makes me jump on realestate.com as I crave to move back beachside ... if only I could have 5 acres in the middle of town backing onto the beach ... :D

    I went to HK 35 years ago with my parents for a week and loved it.

    We are planning on a two night stay to break the trip to Europe (early September). Can you recommend things to see on such a short stay?

    We are into history and museums more than dinner and shows.

    Going to HK for history and museums? That would be hard.... :confused:
    How about House of the Dancing Water in Macau?

    Book your next trip now. I always find the planning stage fun - I love having a trip to look forward too.

    Cheers

    Hehe.

    HK is pretty full on, and I prefer Japan, but it's pretty tiring in Tokyo as well.

    Indeed, I prefer Kyoto over Tokyo. Nicer pace. Tokyo is a huge, busy city. I do like how I mistook an adult store in Akihabara for an anime store.

    When we visit HK I said to hubby "this feels like the ugly version of Tokyo." :rolleyes:

    Hehe, I think we wandered into the same one.
    DVD's, cute little skirts and uniforms - and creepy middle aged men, hmm...

    Maybe lol... got in and I saw a brand of male product... Tenga I think? Among other pink cute stuff. Wondering if I saw what I thought I saw, dismissed it. Went one level, more of stuff. By the next level I thought.... yep. Not anime store. OUT!

    Yes I used to stay at TST Marco Polo too when I was a kid. Probably one of my favourite hotels back then. Although of late Ritz Carlton has really topped it.

    I'd prefer Japan over Hong Kong if I didn't speak either language.
