We are going for a long weekend at the end of this month.
Giving them a warning to get out of town are you? Always said you were a considerate sort.:D

I have been living and working there for the past 6 years. Actually just finished three weeks holidays back home in Brisbane, and am flying back to Hong Kong tomorrow.
Don't know why anybody would want to visit this s#$%hole of a place anyhow, unless you are into dirty, polluted, crowded Asian places. Leaving Brisbane and going back there each time is like torture for me.
May I most respectfully suggest that if you dont like HK - stay in Brisbane.Quote:

if no one answers Yes, are you going to say fooee
aabb, yes you can respectfully say that, but like scooter says, my job is over there and I ain't got no choice.
then find a choice
Cliff have a great time there ... one of the best places to visit in the world imho. .. i go there any chance i get .. was lucky to have to go there on regular basis for work in past job

Lai ho Roger:D ,
Hong Kong is a great place to visit and you only need a few days to see the whole place. It is very different from your lovely Queensland. There aren’t many trees on the road or birds in the sky (but there are plenty in the cage). Yes it is crowed, some places are a bit dirty and a little bit polluted but hey that’s Asia and that’s why people like it.
Enjoy the food, enjoy the shopping and the people. You should go to Stanley market on HK island, catch the Star ferry and visit some fishing villages.
Have a great experience and say hi to my mum for me.
Wongo (who came form the s#$%hole:rolleyes: )
Yep Cliff,
I'm with Albert. I was also fortunate to "have" to go there a bit for work, and now, like Singapore (although HK is nothing like Singapore), I take whatever chance I can get to stay there for a few days.
One small plobrem that can be quite disconcering at first: everyone looks like Wongo!
Cheers,
P
:D :D :D
...and 2 foot shorter.:D
Thanks blokes.
We have been there before for 6 days in '95.
We are going for 5 days & staying with friends before they move to the UK later this year. (then we'll have to visit them again :rolleyes: )
Have been to/from HK Island on the snake train.
Have been to one of the big markets, can't remember the name.
Have been to Lan Tow (sp?) Island wit the big buddah.
Have done one of the self guided walking tours.
This time.
Hope to see some of the East Coast.
Hope to get to Macow. (sp?)
Hope to do a day trip into China.
So Duck, is there anywhere at all that you don't hate that might be worth a look?n:D
Roger,
Just in case you didnt know. You need a visa to go to China and it is not an overnight thing. You should get it organized now.
You should catch the tram to the peak and see the entire city. It is beautiful at night
Try some pigeons they are delicious.:cool:
