Chany's Hong Kong Trip 2002

2002 September 14 - 29

This was my first trip to Hong Kong; I had accepted a consulting assignment, so this gave me the opportunity to see the Far East on expenses!

Here are some details on the trip:

Airfare: CAD $1398 on Air Canada (good for 12740 Aeroplan points!)

Hotel: MetroPark Hotel (Sept 14-22) and the Hotel New Harbour (Sept 22-28)

Exchange Rate: Approximately 4.9 HK$ per 1 CAD

Climate: Hot (25 to 30 degrees C) and humid; torrential rain the first couple of days

Fake Rolex Submariner Watch: HK$ 235

Here's a few pictures (click on the thumbnail to enlarge)

Here I am looking out over Hong Kong Harbour and Kowloon

With Hong Kong in the background, it was a pleasant evening ...

The streets of Hong Kong from the front seat on the upper deck of the tram car.

Look who's surfing the Internet with a wireless network connection on the streets of Hong Kong.

The surrounding area outside the Hotel New Harbour

Here I am overlooking the Hong Kong's Happy Valley Horse Racing Track (Pau Ma Tei)

Lanterns on display for the Harvest Moon Festival

A view at night of Nathan Road (in Kowloon)

At night, the lights of the Hong Kong shimmer across the harbour.
