Ciao for now!

Left Hong Kong today.....The place is truly amazing, there is always loads going on and the scenery is stunning!

There are only two bad things in my opinion. Everyone is so crowded together (the smallest building I saw was 5 stories, most are 15+) that the air pollution in urban areas is ridiculous! The other thing is that the locals arn't very friendly (unless you have some money to spend.....). This might be because they are under siege from McDonalds and Starbucks, which are on every street......so they probably dont like westeners for inflicting those on them!

Anyway, the good points far outweigh the bad and its the perfect place to go for a week or two, especially if you can afford to stay in the nice hotels! So I'll probably go back one day because there are still things that I didn't see.

Just got to Sydney, the hostel is great (and it was where it was supposed to be this time) so I'm gonna catch up on some sleep (i had to get up at 5am this morning) and hit Sydney tomorrow!
