Our homemade blog running from a server under the coffee table did not want to be left behind and apparently also quit his job and go travelling... For now we caught him on blogspot.com, so wel'll just have to see how long he'll last here!
WE had an awesome day until we found out about our website being dwon... We got up at 6am and started wandering about the northern portion of Kowloon. We walked through the bird market, the flower market, and the goldfish market. It turns out we were earlier risers than the market people, most of the stalls were closed. We find very good breakfast though... porridge with Chinese donuts. Martha would be proud!
We spent most of the rest of our day on the Hong Kong island. Basically, this is where the beautiful and rich people live... The hills are alive with lots of luxury apartments, so it was no surprise that loads of German cars were racing down the hill to work (or to the malls?) at 9am... We started at the top and enjoyed the views of the Hong Kong downtown from the top of Victoria peak. The peak has amazing views and we got htere with the tram. The hill was steeper than SF hills! After we were done getting our hair messed up, we walked down the hill to the Hong Kong botanical garden, and then to Hong Kong park. THe walk-through aviary had some fancy looking birds, but the most interesting site to see at this park were the newly married couples posing at the park! The brides were dressed in huge dresses, but the grooms surely did not want to be left behind and went all out with their bedazzlers!
After the park, we took the double decker tram to the Star Ferry to shuttle us back to the Kowloon Peninsula where we are staying! Tonight we will meet Ayse's friend Alex from college for after dinner drinks, how cool is that!
sorry again about the blog problems, but it's hard to maintain a website from this far away..
