    Thinking of skipping the peak. I mean its just a high vantage point. I think I'm going to spend the day to go to Lan Tau and the Big Buddah and Po Lin monestary instead.

    Go around Kowloon a bit, ride the Star Ferry, check out the Temple Street Night Market, Watch the Building Light Show, ride the long escalators around and get my BBQ duck.

    Lan Tau is a nice break from the chaos but I love the food in Kowloon...roast pork on crispy noodles with sauce..

    I'm going to HK in a few weeks. Staying at the ozo Wesley HK. It seems pretty nice for a little over $100/night. It's in Wan chai.

    Which, for El Prez, would be close to 30 seconds.

    Hong Kong was always a good place to visit, so I was going to jump right in there. Then I remembered, that was way back, probably buried under a new layer
    by now.

    Looks good to me as long as the '????' is time set aside for hookers. I hear you can get them cheap over there ever since we started outsourcing our prostitutes.
