HongKong

We are here. It's pissing down but no matter. We brought raingear and we were ready to trawl the streets of Kowloon and Canton.
The Hongkong Tourism board provided sufficient info for us to make our own self-tour. We ventured to Granville Road on foot to look for Nining's rings. Yes, rings. We passed The Kowloon Mosque, a white building which can house 3,500 muslims. Note: Have to pray in there before we leave.q
Granville Road itself was filled with fashion shops with their own local designers.
We found a local eatery called The Great Indian Kebab Factory and soent a fortune on poppadoms, saffron rice and butter chicken. I must admit they served really good curry which was probably why it was pricey.
After our stomachs were filled, we headed south for the harbour.
The Symphony of Lights starts everynight at 8pm sharp and lasts for 15 minutes. Its basically over 40 buildings and skyscrapers from Hongkong Island providing a terrific lightshow. A bit like the one at Jerudong Park but 1000 times better. Throngs of tourists filled the Avenue of Stars, myself included.
We ended the night looking for Bruce Lee's statue and we were not disappointed.
