thanks for the info! what was your time on the pint?Hit up Lan Kwai Fong (and try to best my time in pint of Guinness contest at the Canadian bar there, think it's called the Keg and they play old school hockey vids...I was still in 2nd place the last time I was there...trailed some guy from Perth...go figure!), take the Star Ferry, ride the peak tram, hit up the all-you-can eat brunch buffet at one of the hotels in Kowloon, take a visit to Shenzhen, be amazed at the cleanliness & efficiency of HKG airport.
Those are some of my recommendations.

3.6 or 3.8 I think.thanks for the info! what was your time on the pint?
That's why I'm only planning on drinking sake.Bring Iodine Tablets for the water. My bro caught something nasty when he was there. IV antibiotics for weeks and he lost 50 pounds. It was close to 6 months before he felt better.
check out redwoflairsoft bases in HKBring back some airsoft guns
chinamen dont know sht about sakeThat's why I'm only planning on drinking sake.
true, but i'd rather take my chances with the sake than the waterchinamen dont know sht about sake
i drank the water there. it was better than thailand, but i had no issues. i did stick with the coca cola because it taste almost the same everywhere. and the landing in the airport is always funtrue, but i'd rather take my chances with the sake than the water
is this the airport that is sinking?i drank the water there. it was better than thailand, but i had no issues. i did stick with the coca cola because it taste almost the same everywhere. and the landing in the airport is always fun
i dont know about the HK airport, but a airport in Japan was sinking b/c it is a man made island.is this the airport that is sinking?
oh its the tokyo airport. I keep getting the two cities confused.i dont know about the HK airport, but a airport in Japan was sinking b/c it is a man made island.
its not the Tokyo airport, its the man made island called Kansai Airport. Tokyo is on the main island. the Kansai airport building is on adjustable stilts to compensate for it sinkingoh its the tokyo airport. I keep getting the two cities confused.
This morning I asked my boss if I needed to get Godzilla insurance for the trip
But they're still under threat of Godzilla.its not the Tokyo airport, its the man made island called Kansai Airport. Tokyo is on the main island. the Kansai airport building is on adjustable stilts
godzilla and bad teeth roam all of asia. its inevitable get godzilla and dental insuranceBut they're still under threat of Godzilla.
See, I've never been to Asia. For all I know Godzilla roams as freely as the buffalo used to on the Great Plains. I told this to my boss also.
i thought bad teeth was only england?godzilla and bad teeth roam all of asia. its inevitable get godzilla and dental insurance
when england invaded asia in 1776 they passed bad teeth onto all of asiai thought bad teeth was only england?
Wouldn't it be easier to just drink booze the whole time?Bring Iodine Tablets for the water. My bro caught something nasty when he was there. IV antibiotics for weeks and he lost 50 pounds. It was close to 6 months before he felt better.
Whiteface 5 K & Hong Kong. You are a jet setter aren't you?sweetness! i'm planning on coming back for the whiteface 5K race, and possibly championships at mt snow.

your reverse time on the second attempt was even faster...3.6 or 3.8 I think.

Shenzen IS where our manufacturing is locatedyour reverse time on the second attempt was even faster...
Jon - take the bus up to the summit (can't remember which line) and then take the tram down... dunno which is worse, the wrong-side driving or being on the upper deck of a bus ripping around mountain roads with nothing between you and a 1000' drop but a 2 foot high stone wall (and no shoulder).
Otherwise Lan Kwai Fan is an absolute must. Also if you can find your way around, the subway's are a blast as well. Gives new meaning to the term "wind tunnel". If you go to Shenzhen, make sure you go to Fu Yong (Shenzhen Airport) instead of downtown. Why bother with the high-rises and western culture of downtown Shenzhen when you can experience the squalor and pollution of a real, authentic manufacturing area.
