The HK Gold Coast hotel is located in a very lovely spot in HK. It’s near the airport and I get to see planes taking off and landing. There’s something very wistful about watching planes go by…
\nAnyway, the place is away from the hustle and bustle of downtown HK and I just love it. Of course, it’s annoying when one doesn’t have a car to take me to town when I want to eat those lovely street food and traditional desserts! I think I’ve just about walked the whole of TsimShaTsui and know the place pretty much at the back of my hand now!
\nWent to Sai Kung with Joe and Keith on Sunday. But first we stopped at Choi Hong (Rainbow) station where we had a look at the wet market. I love going to local wet markets to imbibe the local culture and see what things are being sold. There are usually interesting things to see. We then took a mini bus to Sai Kung. The busride to Sai Kung was a scenic one as it wound its way through the roads snaking through the undulating hills in the New Territories.
\nSai Kung is a lovely beach spot with a whole row of seafood restaurants lining the pier. Many old women came up to us asking us if we wanted to take a boatride to the nearby islands. The place was also filled with people bringing their dogs out for walks. We saw so many different dogs, and I was of course thrilled, being the dog-lover that I am. Many people were also flying kites which flew high into the sky, making it a very lovely sight.
\nAnyway, the food in the hotel has been somewhat of a bore. It’s the usual international cuisine buffet. I mean, the food isn’t tttooooo bad, but somehow it just lacks a sort of local flavour.
\nAh well, time for bed. It’s going to be another whole day of presentations tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
