Big Buildings, Star Ferry
This evening I went for a big walk all the way along Hong Kong island to the star ferry terminal.
The ride across the bay is great and costs 40 cents, excellent views, I took many boring typical tourist photos to prove it, most of them culled before uploading.
On the otherside you arrive in Tsim Sha Tsui where I wandered around until I found my dinner.
Then took the train back to Causeway bay, to the supermarket where I have purchased hazelnut flavoured frothy milk tea mix. Which is very delicious.
I dont really have any funny story to tell at this point! Sorry!
Hong Kong has so many big impressive buildings that at times you dont know which way to look, except up, which means you nearly get runover by a bus, tram, train, cart, rickshaw, bike, car, truck, trolley, pram.
This is the biggest building, good lighting for my photo.
The view of Kowloon from the Star Ferry terminal.
Im on the ferry and theres another ferry.
Picture proof that I didnt just stand on the shore and say I went on a ferry.
Looking back at Hong Kong island.
OK last one, theres a junk in the photo. Iso 800 photos hand held on a bumpy ferry in the dark, so expect some noise in the shots.
Heres my dinner, from the vietnamese place in the food court. Its called Cambodian style noodles with shredded beef. At a guess id say Cambodian style means the adding of whole small peppercorn things. Quite nice and made fresh for $5
General view of the food court, this one is a little more English speaker friendly than the lunch time one. I guess the closer you are to central Hong Kong the more English friendly it is.
