    the poor thing flipped straight over and its feet fell off.

    the keeper in the enclosure went mental and we got escorted off after my old man got a proper bolloking (which he did not appreciate n the slightest i might add)
    Should have cooked it, would have given him something to moan about.

    Or made everything all right!

    Only place in Asia I have been is Thailand. Would love to visit Hong Kong some time! Some of the things i've been reading in this thread sound quite cool!

    You can't do it anymore but landing in a 747 into Kai Tak was an experience and seeing the pilot pulling the wasing off the wing tips when on the runway :lol:
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I went to HK for a fortnight a few years back, was an amazing place! But what to do over a few days will depend on what you like

    I liked going to the massive bronze buddha they have on a neighbouring island (Lantau island), and wanding around Kowloon trying the various little shops to eat in. I'd recomend you get a lonely planet type book and have a look in there. They don't cost much and are well worth it.

    oh, and try a massage from one of the massage places. They are tough but most excellent!

    both clearly made up place names.

    Nope they are real.

    There's Chai Wan AND Wan Chai - that confused me.

    Did anyone mention the light show?

    Big Wave Bay is worth a visit too.

    thanks for the suggestions so far guys.

    Im sure my friend who Im visiting over there can steer me in the correct direction for bars and food etc. So was kinda after any suggestions apart from the usual tourist traps.

    The big golden Buddha sounds quite cool might try and give that a go. I've heard there is a lot of national park areas but I couldn't access the Hong Kong travel website last night every link kept resulting in a error for me. Are any of these any good to walk round. thought I might go on a mini hike or something?

    the Zoo is ok, not loads of animals .

    is that because they have all been eaten?

    I did my best.
    Me + alcohol = I want that one, fried.

    And that was just the tour guide you pointed at

    I have been known to eat the occasional oriental lady :D

    One of those lady boys that's occasionally a lady on certain nights of the week?
    Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

    I resisted the temptation to send him to the Hong Kong equivalent of the end of the Northern Line or some dodgy ladyboy bar - this time: if it was Sheeps that was asking the question it might have been different.
