......Hong Kong. Winter. My second trip here. If you're travelling from Europe, it's better to get a flight that arrives here in the afternoon. So you go to bed and get rid of the jet leg as soon as possible. For a 10-12 hour flight it's better to get a window seat. It might be difficult as there are not too many even if the plane is big. Many people do the check in online. If you have a connection flight and you can't get a window seat from the beginning, when you first land go to the desk of the flight company. They can help. Their system is different from the one in the country of origin.
......Get a good night sleep and on the second day explore the city. Hong Kong SAR has one peninsula, Kowloon, one big island, Hong Kong, and several other several smaller islands, the most important one being Lantau.

......My trip started on the south side of Hong Kong Island, in Repulse Bay. A wide beach and a temple. Not a very good day. And in this time of the year it's too cold for swimming.
......The next stop was the Escalator. Most of the day it goes from the bottom of Victoria Peak to the mid level. It only goes down 4 hours a day, in the morning, to bring the people that live up there to work.
......Some local fast food.
......And now some of the real life. Small apartments in high buldings. All have air conditioning and there's laundry hanging at the windows everywhere.
......So this is Hong Kong. There is a worse side, poorer. In Aberdeen, on the Southern side of the island there are some people living on boats. They don't afford a real home.
......
......I have more photos. Coming soon.
