Brief stopover in Hong Kong. Nice to show boys where we once lived. Kim says "I didn't really like Hong Kong at first, but might need a few more days to make up my mind."
The skline may have grown (even more buildings, subways and skywalks) but it's character feels like it hasn't changed much in 20 years. Still same currency as pre-handover, and just as many gwailo's and other foreigners. If anything it's even busier.
Rode the Star Ferry and trams, saw the lights from the Peak at night, and ate in McDonald's for old times sake (bad parents!).
Departed to airport 2 hours too early (doh), but just as well because travel agent hadn't confirmed our flights properly and had to argue. Got standby seats 10 minutes before gate closed and had to sprint through terminal. Typical.
