How many modes of transportation can you take in one day? I tried many while in Hong Kong last Saturday.
6:45 – I left my apartment for the bus station where I boarded the public conveyance to Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The gothic, horror movie-esque Hong Kong Cemetery.
8:20 – After clearing immigrations and customs at the mainland and Hong Kong SAR border I found myself at the Kowloon MTR station. A subway train to Hong Kong Station, a brief walk to Central Station, and another train to Wan Chai.
9:30 – Hong Kong Cemetery. I like cemeteries. This one dates from the British conquest origins of Hong Kong. It’s gothic, much like an old 1930s horror movie.
11:00 – Back to Wan Chai, by foot, and lunch in a Burger King (a guy has to eat!).
11:45 – Hong Kong Park was once Victoria Barracks, part of the British Military’s Hong Kong garrison. The buildings have been converted to an aviary, a marriage registry office, and a tea museum.
12:45 – Running to Pier 4 and the ferry to Lamma Island.
1:30 – Arrival on Lamma Island, the main point of my super-secret trip.
3:15 – The reverse trip begins. Back to Pier 4 on Hong Kong Island, and the MTR to Tsim Tsa Tsui (I can’t believe I spelled that right the first time. If only I could say it.) A brief stop at a drug store and another at GNC.
5:15 – The bus back to Shenzhen.
6:30 – A taxi from the border to my humble abode.
I don’t want to travel anywhere for at least a week, unless I’m being carried. How did you spend your Saturday?
It was better then my Saturday, trust me…
And the photos are…?

Ron in L.A.´s last blog post..The Green Canyon – Big Bear Lake, California
Hmm, Saturday I took care of angry people, who had waited ages in line, only to be told their item didn’t come from our store, or that the ugly sweater Aunt Helen spent $30 for would only get them a $10 store credit without a receipt.

My Saturday was better than most days for the past two weeks. It didn’t snow! Yay! I took my son to the airport and drove back in slushy streets. It took me almost as long to get home, a measly 18 miles from the airport, than it took my son’s plane to travel 720 miles! Go figure. Then the rest was spent wishing the kids were still here. Their visits were far too short!
I’m with Ron. I want to see the pics!
Corina´s last blog post..New Year’s Eve Memories
It seems my Saturday was better than your Shawn and Corina. What did you do, Ron?
This weekend will see me shopping for my upcoming European tour, and napping.
You missed taking the tram in Hong Kong!
Was fun just going off and seeing how the view changes from high-rise buildings to that of public housings, flats and the likes
But anyway, the question is: What did you do in Lamma Island ~!?
