Bangkok to Hong Kong

We got our yellow fever fever jabs and our influenza jabs yesterday in the Thai Red Cross, A1 service as per any facility we've used in Thailand and excellent service, my arm is killing today..but that's the least of our worries! We hailed a taxi and asked him to bring us to the Skytrain station, he unfortunately took us to the wrong station (I showed him the name in writing! grrr). So we had to get a subway train, a skytrain and a further skytrain after that to get to the airport! Disaster as this delayed us over an hour, we thought we'd have more then enough time but alas the checkin girl was as slow as the M50 and immigration was no better! We were actually the last one's on the plane only catching the plane by a whisker!

A short plane journey later we were in HK and through the futuristic airport we met an Aussie guy and an English guy who we travelled with to our accommodation, the bus driver was one of the angriest men I'd met in a long time and I told the lads I ain't going up next time! He was aright at the end of the journey so we'll let him away with it! We arrived at the Chungking Mansions, which is somewhat of a notorious place in Hong Kong, I didn't know what to make of the place, it could be described as 'Little Africa' or more accurately something out of Robocop (Detroit City Ghetto) or Blade, it's insane..our guesthouse is A1 though our other comrades weren't as lucky. We've a flat screen, fridge and a really clean room but at the premium of 30euro but thats cheap for our base in Hong Kong. We just had time to drop the bags in the room and met the lads for a well deserved Guinness in Murphy's pub next door, delicious pint and at nearly 7 Euro a pop it would want to be!
