I came to Hong Kong after four years or so.
This is a big group tour of 300 people which I attended for the first time. It is the 66th trip of this series. This is a kind of study tour.
I left home around 6 am arriving at the Haneda Airport at 7:44 am. Train was full after the bon holiday and I am glad to have sent the suitcase by the delivery service.
Flight delayed for an hour.
I am glad to have seen "A Theory of Everything" which I wanted to see because I missed while it was showing.
We arrived at Hong Kong at 3:19 pm Japan Time which is 2:19 pm Hong Kong Time.
I exchanged yen10,000 to HK$660.
After arriving at the Intercontinental Grand Sranford Hotel Hong Kong, there was an explain meeting.
At night we went to a local restaurant and ate a lot. Most waiter and waitress could not speak English but our group leader has lived in Hong Kong and can speak Chinese so that we were very lucky.
There was a meeting until late at night.
According to the tour guide:
Hong Kong's industries are tourism, finance, and trading.
Rice is Thai rice and all of automibiles are foreign made.
There are four parts: Lantau Island, Kowloon, Hong Kong Island, and New Territories.
People only eat at home for dinner.
There are many high rise buildings because there is no earthquake.
There is no winter, it is 12 to 13 degrees centigrade in winter.
They use cooler (air-conditioning) all year around.
Scaffoldings are made of bamboo.
Subways run from 6 am to 1 am, buses run for 24 hours.
In March and September they visit graveyard.
Big Chinese fesivals are the moon festival in fall and the old Chinese New Year in February.
