Arrived around 11.30pm at Nathan road,i think the main area in Kowloon for travellers.From the outside Chungking Mansions looks a shabby block of around 6 towers,plenty of shady characters outside and inside,however all the time i felt safe.I think i struck it lucky with my hotel,basically most have been one apartment turned into maybe 5 or 6 small rooms.
My first day i decided to stroll around the kowloon area,camr across the nice kowloon park and being sunday it was full of indonesians maids as it is their day off and many gather here to meet,eat and drink.On the island Victoria park and statue square areas have the Phillipino maids doing the same.
Second day was a hop on the star ferry to hong kong island and a tram ride up to the peak for the views.A stroll around and with the heat being too much i needed to head back to kowllon for a deserved rest,and cool shower.Evening was spent watching the world famous laser show at 8pm,but it was really a big let down.
Unfortunately my budget is low now and i had to not spend even though many bargains in shops,markets and especially electrical goods.Sigh!!!!!
