They think its all over, it is now!

Hong Kong, Hong Kong


This is it, my last day! Despite the rain and cloud, i actually quite like Hong Kong. Okay it has loads of shops and ive no money to buy but its nicer than Singapore as its actually alive and not sterile!
I stayed in the Chungking Mansions which possibly wasnt the best idea but was an experience, if you want to know what its like to sleep in the smallest bed without any windows and no room then its fab! oh and on top of that there is the undertone of crime and possible horror that surrounds here, with lots of staring! But despite all that I stayed in the Maple Leaf Guesthouse in the mansions which was possibly the cleanest place I have been in for ages and the little chap running it, John, was lovely. so it wasnt all bad. However it didnt make me want to stay longer so I headed to a luxurious far too expensive (but thats what credit cards are for) hotel down the road!! Much better!!!
Today I did the bus tour which to be honest isnt worth it. it barely stops and I prefer mooching but it saved my tired legs for a bit.
Just trying to find a karaoke bar tonight to round off my little 6 month trip!!!
On that note, I have to say I think I am the luckiest person alive at this moment. I have done what I have wanted to do, I had the guts to quit my job and home and go and even if I say so myself im proud of me for doing it. Its not been easy, there have been good and bad times but I have done so much in the last six months I cant actually believe or remember all I have done. I have had a ball.
Just one last thing, so where next time........!
