The view of Hong Kong from the top of Mount Victoria. I walked down, several different paths on the way down the hill. It was really relaxing. |
| A busy street in Hong Kong. I found the people a little impolite, but since I used to work in Chinatown in Manchester, I was more than used to their culture. I found the pace of life in this city to be exhilarating. |  |
 |
A forecourt in the banking sector, where people could sit and watch television. You can see Yasser Arafat here, as It was reported he wasn’t well (he has since died). |
| On the star ferry, travelling to Hong Kong Island (I stayed at the Marco Polo Hong Kong hotel, in Kowloon Harbour. |  |
 |
One of the original trams, That still run in Hong Kong. |
| A waterfall, in the beautiful Hong Kong park. It even has a zoo. |  |
 |
Bank of China tower, one off the newest and grandest buildings in Hong Kong. |
| I found the place to be very status orientated and flash. As I passed a jewellers shop, I was 2 mobile phones, one made of gold, and the other platinum. The gold phone, cost the equivalent of £35000 !. |  |
 |
This was a brilliantly drawn picture on the side of a building, which caught my eye. |
| The two Lippo towers. I personally thought they were the best looking architecture on the Island. |  |
 |
The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) Head office, designed in 1984 by Sir Norman Foster. |
| The modern building is located on the same site as the original, and has a Lion on each side of the entrance. When the Japanese invaded Hong Kong they actually used the Lions for target practice, and you can still see the bullet holes. |  |
 |
In the Hong Kong Zoo, I was an amazing underwater plant which has leaves the same shape as bowls (Victoria cruziana).
More than 20 inches in diameter, a small child can sit on one, and it will float. |
| A cave like walkway in the Hong Kong Park. You can probably guess that I like the park, I spent quite a lot of time there. |  |
 |
The original governors mansion, in the middle of the banking sector. |
| The entrance to Kowloon park, which was just near my hotel. |  |
 |
This is a public swimming pool, in the centre of Kowloon park. I could hardly believe how clear the water was. |
| I was getting a drink in Hong Kong Airport. A few girls came up to me, and asked me for directions. One of them is Miss South Africa, who agreed to pose for a picture. |  |
