the Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong

A backpacker's traveling guide to the Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong with hostelworld.com.

Hello, my name is Colm Hanratty from hostelworld.com. And I’m in Hong Kong, it’s a bit dark at the moment because I’m in a park leading off to Hong Kong very famous sky line, where at the moment too many people. You’ll see that in a second when we got down here in around. Look at my watch, 37 minutes or so, because by 23 minutes by passed 7 the moment. This place is going to be packed because every night at 8 pm, there’s a light show here. I saw it here last night, it’s impressive, so as Hong Kong sky line which we going to see now in a second. Definitely one of the colorful sky lines I’ve ever seen in all the cities I’ve been to so far in this trip around the world. This is day 70 of my 80 day trip around the world, in case you remembered. I got here first very late Thursday night. and the reason I was late is because of the weather in Bangkok is so horrible, and my flight was late by 3-4 hours. Then when I got here, I met friend Vicky from back home. Hello Vicky and her mom. And we went and we got drunk, very drunk and it was good and fun. So, here you can see the sky line, it’s quite colorful. You probably can't see how colorful it is from this. But I can tell you it is quite colorful. So in the next day, we went into a place called the Peak, which is one of the most do in the city. And because of the great food of the city up there. But hazy though, very hazy. And then after that then, we went to huddle and wonder around Kowloon at Nathan road, where the highlight has to be dodging people shouting fake watch, fake Rolex, fake hand bags. And then Vicky went at southern island. Then since then I’ve been on Lantao Island which is where you’ll find the big Buddha, and if you're coming to Hong Kong, you’re going to end up there. And then later on tonight, I’m going to go to temple street Marcus, because it’s a good place to shop. Right, I’m going to sign off. Next time I shall see you will be in Beijing and my second last city, so I’ll say good bye to from Hong Kong and next time I’ll say hello will be in Beijing. Bye-bye!
