Well firstly no annoyance from my crank caller, mainly because i am just leaving my mobile phone switched off all the time, well except for once a day to check message etc. Hopefully he will just get bored getting my voicemail and stop hasselling me.
Yesterday i went sight seeing yesterday well myself and nini headed off to see Victoria peak, now Ewan (the english guy on the tour) told me just to follow the signs in Central station, so i did. but I followed the signs on the metro, after 40 mintues on the metro I arrived on another island only to be told that the cable car was broken, but i could take a bus, i ended up here ... not Victoria peak!
Headed back into the city and went for a walk and found some old people doing Tai Chi, 
Today, after a bit of a lie in i decided in ernest to try to find Victoria peak , after all it's been looking down at me since i got here. Now today wasn't necessarily the best day to go there, seeing that it's been rain all day and really misty, but then again, it may i have been the best day for missus i can't look i'm going to fall but baby to go there. Go to Central, exit at J2 cross park walk up hill get into tram, enjoy 40 degree assent, don't throw up and don't go to the observation deck if you are afraid of heights ...
After i stumbled and stuttered back down from the peak, peak i mean the name should have given it away, i checked out some of the local typical hong kong sights,
So I have been here in my not 5* hotel for the last three days and to tell the truth I feel slightly more at ease, all that 5* attitude kind of makes me feel paranoid especially when i look like a tramp. I sorted out the two things that were stressing me out at the begining of the week, i got my train ticket for Shanghai and also got my vietnam visa, well at least my passport is in the vietnam embassy getting processed. I could have gotten it done in 20 minutes but i didn't have the additional 500hk$ to do. Need to pick it up before i head to Shanghai Friday morning.
Hong Kong is totally weird, i have decided it's like what london will be like in 30 years, that is, after global warming and the chinese have taken over the world. The double decker buses just kill me, and the plug points are UK/Irish and so i can't charge my ipod, ironic. Also even though this is part of "china" it has a memorial every year to the Tiananamen square massacre, something that according to the chinese government didn't really happen. How strange? They have protexts and demonstations, and i've seen ladies in head scarfts, wow freedom of religion,
Before I go a big congrats to my former manager Noel Gaughran for sucessfully completing the Dublin city Marathon in 3hrs 40. Good job Noel!
