Our Plane

We went to Hong Kong by Dragon Air. This is our plane. Actually, it was really quite a nice airline...well, they had good food which is always my basis for comparison. I guess this is quite apt considering that all our holidays just revolve around eating and coffee. (*^.^*) We also watched a really good Cantonese movie on the plane. I can't remember the name or find it on the net, but it was about a crazy man living in HK and his neighbour, a masseuse called Phoebe, and a rookie policewoman and her partner investigating a rainy night murderer, so if you know the title, please tell me!

We arrived quite late, so by the time we got out of the airport, there wasn't time to do much other than just go to the hotel. That in itself was quite exciting as we got to go on a double-decker bus! Well, Jane, Rick and I were not so excited and stayed on the lower deck, but Cedric and Ant, who don't have double-deckers in their countries, dashed up to the top floor. We were more excited about the roundabouts and the fact the cars had English number plates. Actually the city itself is very like Tokyo in the style of buildings and the hussle and bussle, but everyone speaks almost perfect English and there are English brands everywhere.

The hostel was quite nice for the price we paid; only about £10 a night for en-suit (which we found out by Cedric's confused expression, that this is actually not a French word (@o@) ). Actually, later in the week we were reminiscing for this room when we ended up in the second place we stayed, but more on that later...
