Mong Kok, Kowloon Island at night
Travels
After a few months in England catching up with friends and family, attending a friend’s wedding and experiencing the cold, rainy August ‘summer’ we were ready to move on. Last Friday we landed in Hong Kong after a sleepless night on the plane to high heat and humidity and the crazy crowds of Mong Kok on Kowloon Island where we were staying in a tiny hostel room. After a few hours sleep we were ready to confront the chaos and loved walking through the crowds and neon lights to the waterfront to witness the spectacular Hong Kong skyline at night. We were happy to be back in Asia.
After a few days of lots of walking and eating vegetarian dim sum we headed to Japan. We arrived at our house sit in Kyoto a few days ago in a quiet, residential neighbourhood in the north of the city. We haven’t done much except be bewildered in Japanese supermarkets (not being able to read labels isn’t good for vegetarians). People here are very sweet and polite, and things feels more orderly than Hong Kong. We have work to catch up on but are looking forward to getting out and exploring the city.
