Kei te mihi nunui ki a koutou katoa. Welcome to our blog.

This blog was created to help us all with our travel to and throughout China, and then home again.

It is about us going back to where our grandfather was from and therefore finding ourselves. (See the 'about me' section at the bottom of the page.) For those who don't know about 'blogs.' It's pretty simple, you can just read them and/or you can add comments if you want to. The first one is usually at the bottom and the most recent addition is at the top of the page. Then of course, you might want to learn to speak a few Cantonese words or play with the kitten in the side bar. I will be adding more things as time goes on.

Have fun, visit this page, join in and I hope that some of the hints will be helpful.

Hong Kong

The China Club is an excellent link about Hong Kong and China, from hints about just about everything to how to write your name in Chinese.
The airport is the gate way to Hong Kong. Would you believe that there is a shower and pay-in lounge where you can relax and indulge yourselves at the first arrival pay-in lounge, the Plaza Premium Arrival Lounge, located at the central access way(non-restricted area) between the two terminals. Offering a wide range of relaxations, including hot showers, all day food and beverage, beauty and massage services, the brand new lounge is the first lounge tailored for all passengers and airport users. It is easily accessible from Terminal 1 via the newly opened central access adjacent to the Airport Express Station (To City) or from Terminal 2 near the Coach Station Hall on Level 3.
This unofficial Hong Kong Guide has extra tips about Hong Kong and the airport. As does this official Hong Kong guide, which gives you the choice of reading the info in at least 10 different languages. The blog which is written by taip_babe is so filled with knowledge. Then more Hong Kong tips given by China Travel. As well as these tips. Ex-pats also leave their messages via their blogs.

If you wanted to leave your luggage anywhere, you have the choice of leaving your luggage at the Hong Kong station, airport and the ferry terminal.

I've found this link that answers a lot of questions about Hong Kong. Such as Airport, Visa and transport questions among others. Also the different modes of transport from the airport to your hotel. And should you want to know the street directions I've included this map. As well as that, I've included the urban transport photo library. Then there is the Library, woohoo.

ShopCite is a link so that we could compare prices for electronics, in Hong Kong with those from home, such as Price Spy. If you are going to spend money, it might be useful to know what the money looks like.

Finally, I've added this awesome map, it not only is a road map but it has links to show CCTV of some of the main roads. WOW I was looking at the roads and even thought that I could drive on them :)...maybe on the next trip.
