Getting our minds blown in Hong Kong, day 1

Av A & J - 15 oktober 2015 17:30

               


Wow well let's see. The trip over was long. We left Vasa in Finland 1600 hours on the 13th to get to Helsinki and our flight wasn't until 07.45 on the 14th. We changed flights in Rome and landed in Hong Kong six in the morning on the 15th. I slept the three hours between Helsinki and Rome and basically not for a single second more. Bunny on the other hand was asleep 50% of the time. But I did get the chance to see Spy, Tomorrowland, Inside out and something I can not recall. Insomnia will do that to you. Give you temporary Alzheimer's and before you know it, you're putting your pants over your head and singing time to say goodbye as you squat over the middle of the aisle guarding your Precious, which happens to be a discarded banana peel from last flight. Nah. It wasn't quite that bad. But it could have been.


Well we made it to HK and got something called airport express cards which costs HK$ 300, includes 2 trips to the airport and is an all you can ride card for 72 hours. When you're here as a tourist you do a lot of riding back and forth on the MTR and you can easily use up to 70-80-100 HK$ on one day. If you're sightseeing that is. So it was a good deal. You also get 50 HK$ back when you turn in the cards at the end of your stay. (After 72 hours we got something as genius as an Octopus card. Which also costs 50HK$ for a card itself and then you just deposit as much as you want to carry around on it. If you don't want to handle cash I would set it up for about 400 a day and then you're free to use it at the subway, train, buss, store and, if you ever had to, pay bills with it as well. Pure genius.)


Anyhow. We arrived on the Kowloon side which was going to be our home for the next week but since it was still 07.30 in the morning we couldn't check in so we spent two hours at McDonald's and 90 min down by the waterfront where we found these awesome fake grassed wagons that was a part of an art exhibit. We chilled out on one of those and I swear that that was the fastest hour in my life. Laid down and I was down and out. We did managed to check in early and 30 min later Thomas met us outside Chunking Mansion which is the very special place where we're staying. He took us for a walk on HK island, up towards Mid levels, Soho and back down again. We passed a place called Lotus and had some thaifood. 68HKkr per person. Which covered both food and drinks. We went back to the hostel around five and at 18.30 I passed out and had a nice 16 hour nap.

High life baby.

                The 16 hour nap was amazing. And if we hadn't planned a kickass day at the beach I could easily have slept passed both ten, eleven and twelve a.m. Exhaustion had a face and that face was mine. But bunny did a good job kicki...

        Our epic life long dream trip, or as bunny would put it "the YOLO trip", actually started in Lithuania. Since his birthday is on the 4th of October I decided to fly down so I wouldn't miss a thing. It was an interesting trip getting the...
