Right now I am still dealing with the jet lag and it sucks, and I leave tomorrow to go back... just enough time to not get a good night's sleep. NICE!
Ok enough of my wining. Lets start with a picture.
Alright this is a neat city, island, harbor, whatever you want to call it. You can hike, which I will do this next week, kick it on the beach and drink a beer, take a tram to the Peak and have dinner overlooking the city or work like me. I will definitely have to make it back here on my own time. The picture above is taken from my hotel bedroom in Kowloon, the mainland side of Hong Kong.
The night scene is pretty awesome, we had dinner up on 'the Peak' and took in all the views. You can not believe all the tall buildings; just like Manhattan, but a bit smellier and warmer. The only day my boss and I were able to escape and do anything fun was Sunday; we headed out to Stanley Market on the east side of Hong Kong Island where you can shop for every trinket and fake brand name shoes, purse or jeans you can think of. You can also just chill beach side and have a few beers and chat with other like-minded guys from Wales. Boy that San Miguel beer is good!
Well I do not have may stories to tell on this trip, but I have to talk about the hotel I stayed at. The W Hong Kong is definitely swank! I mean just check out the pool!
Located all the way up on the 76th floor the infinity pool over looks the harbor and city. The hot tub, right behind from where I took the picture of the pool, is also an infinity and was quite nice way of preparing for a day at work after getting a nice workout in the gym.
Well I will leave you with this. The building right next to the hotel had some cool architectural features, like a pool on the floor that bridges the two legs. That's right the red arrow is pointing to it. In the evening you can see the water shimmering.
Tomorrow off to Hong Kong again and will have another story to tell next week...
Happy Thanksgiving!
