1 – left hsing and patrick's apartment (127 caine rd) on top of the hill at around 12:30pm
2 – ate at "the flying pan" – a brunch of a garden omelette with baked beans, grilled tomatoes, orange juice and bottomless coffee ($99HKD = $13CAD)
3 – walked past the old bailey prison and police station / it’s old, big and they’re figuring out what to do with it
4 – botanical gardens and zoo on one side of the street / I saw the government house on the other side of the street and in my guidebook it said it was free admission but the police officer told me otherwise at the gate
5 – went by the u.s. consulate while still walking down the hill but I wasn’t looking to go inside here this time
6 – my second major stop was at st. john’s cathedral / it’s the second oldest building in hong kong (est. 1849) / it was damaged in wwII and the front door was rebuilt with wood from a british warship / a fairly good size on a nice piece of land considering there are skyscrapers everywhere you look up in the sky
7 – took a wack of pictures of different skyscrapers that were all around including the bank of china tower, citibank plaza, the lippos building, murray building, hong kong and shanghai banks
8 – chater gardens / sat around and stretched / walked through a nice little tree garden which listed each species
9 – hong kong planning and infrastructure exhibition gallery / neat little place with tons of models and interactive tv screens explaining hong kong’s railways, roads and logistical networks / quite impressive
10 – edinburgh place which is where city hall is / here I saw a bit of an outdoor art gallery from artists around the world / i scored some good pictures here
11 – walked past the old post office and walked through it
12 – went through the stock exchange / millions of dollars passing hands ever second / scary stuff
13 – turned back north to queens road central / spent a good half hour in H & M / emily would be proud / emily would be disappointed I didn’t buy anything
14 – looked at a camera shop and priced digital cameras / $200 - $300 for a cheap canon or nikon from 6 – 7 megapixels
15 – walked all the way up the hill / got tired and took the escalator for the other half and got back to hsing and patrick’s around 5:30
