A little R & R

This week I'm in Hong Kong/Guangdong for some R & R. Two months in Taiwan has been great, but I'm dying for some real Cantonese food. The trip over was nice except that I caught another Typhoon head on. It was pretty rocky landing in HK as the typhoon was upgraded. Driving on the highway was scary also as we hydro planed twice. Lucky no other car was in the way....
Flying from Hualien to Taipei took 30 minutes and a very pleasant experience as we watched the magnificient scenery. Then I took a bus from Sungshan airport to Taoyuan Airport which took another 30 minutes. Flight to HK was 1.5 hours, and the whole trip costs under $300 Cdn, returned.

Weather is clearing today and I'll have lunch in HK with friends......then a date with Suzie Wong in Wanchai............................a bar made famous in the movie "the world of Suzie Wong"

featuring the gorgeous & glamorous Nancy Kwan.

Those who have been to the "Pearl of the Orient" can recognize these next two pictures. Truly magnificient...
