We left on a cloudy Thursday morning for Hong Kong, with three pieces of check-in baggage in tow. (Mum and Dad shared one.)
I was really tired on the way there, only clocking four hours of sleep the night before. Economy class is really, well, economical when it comes to legroom, yikes. The close-to-four-hour flight was turbulent, and it was a relief to finally arrive at the destination.
Over the next four days, we visited the Kowloon (where we stayed), Tsim Sha Tsui, Central and Causeway Bay areas of the SAR. Further descriptions will come in the following posts. ;)

THE weather in Hong Kong was, in a word, abysmal. Hong Kong (w) indeed. :X
It must be said that June is not exactly an ideal time of year to visit. It rained all four days we were there, and it hardly ever let up. The worst weather came on Friday, when torrential rain caused a black rainstorm warning to be issued round about the time the above photo was taken. One hundred millimetres of rainfall was recorded that day… yikes. (w)

Besides the crappy weather (how many times have I mentioned this already? Oops), there are other things that I will remember about Hong Kong.
