Ok, so you see I'm back here and working full throttel to make this blog as interesting as possible... so here I am again... you've had long posts and even photos I've pilfered from Kate and Anna's facebook:) ... so frankly, now I'm running on empty a bit... Hong Kong is a cool place and a marked contrast to China, but it's not quite floating my boat for some reason... ... maybe it's the Englishness or something... also it may be the fact that I didn't get to sleep till 3 or 4am last night. The day just got away from us and we popped out for a quick drink in town with a Swedish guy (yes, ANOTHER Swede!) called Fredrick from my dorm... the girls carried on to a bar with some Swedes (I'm not making this up) and me and Fredrick decided to walk home... about 2 hours later we made it... who would have thought that 2 metro stops were that far apart!!
... ... ... Yes, I'm defo running on empty now... to summarise today, we did all those things that enable you to see the city... we got the panoramic view, took the ferry from Hong Kong island to Kowloon, walked through the night markets (I even got the card game version of 'Zooloretto' for only 30HK$ in the 'ladies market'... for a market called, the "ladies market" they sold a surprisingly large array of geeky board games... the only issue is that the rules are in Chinese!! ... anyone know Mandarin... or maybe Cantonese?) ... so now I'm well knackered... legs are ready to fall off and head is ready to be pickeled in some kind of brine...
... I was gonna work back and give you a bit of blurb about my time in Mongolia but my mind is beginning to fizz, pop and burn like an old car engine so I'm gonna have to delay it again... it seems that a summary of my time in Mongolia might be forever destined to be sidelined to that elusive "next time"... which is a shame as it was probably one of the major highlights so far! ... I will get round to it eventually... as will I eventually get round to elaborating on my time in St.Petersburg... those events have simmered for long enough in the saucepan of history and are probably ready to be drained off and served aldente... soon palatable after long being hard and undigestable to me (I am still talking about my time in St.Petersburg and not actually spagetti... I just like to get carried away by a metafore (or however the hell you spell that word))
... I was also gonna put some of my own picture up tonight instead of just waiting to knick them off other people once they get round to putting theirs up... but right now, putting my hand in my bag to pull out that usb stick just seems like too much hassel!
... So I've spent enough time writing about nothing, I think I'll go... tomorrow I've got to change hostels which should be interesting... HK is the only place I've been where the Hostel reception is in a seperate tower block and a main road away from the actual room!
So now I'm gonna use the rest of my internet hour to try and find the instructions for coloretto in English... they don't have a printer here so I've got my note pad at the ready...
Keep well everyone:)
