Ive been amusing myself over the last few days with various buildings, museums, kung-fu demonstrations, piano shops and noodle bars. Although HK begins to grow on you after a while i'll be very glad to get out of here, if only for budget reasons. On average a meal costing 10 times that of other places ive been, and thats for the cheap stuff. I'll also be glad to be out my guesthouse, where no windows and cockroaches for company dont make for an enjoyable stay.

Im flying to Cairns tomorrow, and if my geography serves me correctly there is a little more room for breathing in Australia. Oh, and its summer there. :-)
