My starter for 10 - Hit me with Hong Kong!...... (China)
Landed in Hong Kong fairly late at night expecting a train and metro challenge to my hotel. Similarly to Tokyo though, HK didn't let me down with English signage, but also similar to Japan things were not that obvious to work out! I'm meeting up with the tour group tomorrow night so have a day to explore this pearl of the Orient. Also found out that ATM's do not like you taking cash out of one country and then travelling and trying to get cash out in local currency in another country on the same day. Luckily I had some emergency US dollars on me and airports and train stations, thankfully, have currency exchange booths at them. So I could actually get to my hotel - the train ticket booth would only accept cash not cards - amazing these days! It's these sort of unexpected things that you find out about at the time it happens when travelling!
