A love hate relationship!

We have been in some populated cities on this trip but the difference between them and Hong Kong is while the others are also chaotic their chaos is orderly where as Hong Kong's is anything but.

Walking around the streets you are liable to get knocked over by someone pushing a delivery cart or you could trip over various items of produce drying off in the sun.

What the produce actually is can only be guessed at but we suspect such things are fungi and/or fish and then there are the Chinese medicine shops.











As can be imagined there are numerous street odours as a result.

We took the Metro to Causeway Bay (a crowded metro) as when we were last here


that was where we stayed but very little was recognisable though I did see an example of bamboo scaffolding!


We then again got the Metro and went off the island to the mainland side (Tsim Sha Shui) and walked along the promenade.

It was good to get away from the streets and get a little fresh air but also to get a view of the high rises on the island and the activity on the harbour














This place is one you will either love or hate and in our view Singapore is a far better Asian city to have as a stop over and it would be doubtful that we would ever return to Hong Kong, but in saying that it is not a place that we hate.

P.S. As I laid in bed last night, a bed that was about 6 inches too short for me, it struck me that the 6163 kms we drove around Europe in 2 months is more than the distance we have driven in our Lexus in the 20 months that we have had it!
