Fish Spa - Suck on This!
The locals love their 'creature' comforts in this part of the world. Massages of every variety imaginable and some unimaginable - wink - wink - nudge - nudge! Ah well sure - "All's well that ENDS well!" and sure don't we all love a 'Happy Ending' to be sure to be sure! We went to a Fish Spa recently where the basic idea is, you immerse your feet in a large fish tank and the little blighters proceed to feast on the dead skin of your toes etc and give you a good 'foot cleansing'. It was very ticklish and weird at first but somehow calming and therapeutic after a while.

Our Hong Kong Crib!
We moved into a new rental place a few months back. I was very hesitant about moving off the main Hong Kong Island as we were literally in the heart of the city but it was a TINY one room studio apartment that you couldn’t swing a rat in it, never mind a cat. We lived above an old folks home and the the poor ‘blue rinse’ crew would be wandering the corridors with intravenous drips and every other day the ambulance would pull up and cart one away never to be seen again. Very uplifting this blog post eh?! We relocated to the district of Hung Hom in Kowloon and the neighbourhood is definitely more local and less ‘expat’ which is better as it means more value for mo

Hong Kong - Warning(s) in Force
This made me chuckle.

Hiking Sharp Peak, Sai Kung, Hong Kong
I'm always up for a challenge and like to push the envelope at least as far as hiking is concerned. This is what greeted me on my recent trek to the summit of Sharp Peak. Showing me this is akin to telling a fly to stay away from a freshly laid hot steamy pile of dog shite. I was not to be deterred.
