My Hong Kong adventures

It was lovely to come back to Hong Kong again. Even though id been here only 6 weeks before, I was only here for 24 hours, this time I would be here a week.

My main priority was helping finish off picking and designing Christmas decorations for this year (yes, afraid so - things do have to happen way in advance of things being in the shops - scary thought!) but part of my trip ended up meeting our new team of designers over in the Hong Kong office - a part of the job I LOVE. Meeting other creative people, chatting about their work and looking at where their skills can be maximised the most in the future. i just LOVE it.

So, in work i had a good time - I got to meet lots of great people, got to know my way around the office a bit better, and outside of work I got chance to explore this facinating city - unlike no other. or should that be A-like no other? Im confused?

My picture above shows I got the famous Star ferry across to Hong Kong island, where as you can see - the staff, like me, have a pon-schon for Sailor suits :

I was over this side of the water to visit 'The Peak' which id heard lots about, but it still remained a mystery what it actually was? It was Sunday, and the streets were heaving with Phillipino people who apparently every sunday congregate on the streets of Hong Kong and had a good catch up with friends and family.

Id been to the Peak before, as an 11 yearold. I couldnt remember a jot. not a jot about it, and even getting there, and getting on the tram, I STILL couldnt remember (it must have been later in the same day that I had the sunstroke and Bloody Lovely damn near choked me to death by holding my hair out of the sink and grabbed my neclace too - IMPOSSIBLE to let her know without physical force.)

The Tram was good. Very steep, infact I stood up to take a picture and some neck muscles came into play I didnt even know I had.

 

As you can see here - it unfortunatly wasnt a very clear night, but my collegue and I did have  an  exceptionally lovely meal at the Deco restaurant.  I feel very fortunate that my job allows me to travel. I feel even more fortunate that I work with some really lovely people. The two go hand in hand to make  what could be a very lonely time; a very nice time. 

 

And just to lower the tone - when talking to Mi Papa  (whom I will now refer to with his righful name of BOB - Brain Of Britian , named by Bloody lovely and myself many years ago, on behalf of him knowing practically everything, and if he doesnt - it aint worth knowing; so he will answer you in a riddle, giving him more air time and leave you even more perplexed than you already might have been) yeah, so Im telling Bob about my adventure and he goes "did you go past the building of a thousand arse-holes?"  I think hes referring to the above.
