More from . . . . The Vertical City . . . and how we commute!!!

Here's an edited set of bus-rides around for us HK commuters :-) . . . . we're travelling from kowloon to or from Hong Kong Island . . .














The Vertical City






Unbelievable!!!

With land mass of 1,104 km2 (426 sq mi) and a population of seven million people, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

The city's population is 95% Ethnic Chinese and 5% from other groups
.

You can't get a fag paper between anything!!!

With three other Examiners here, it's been a very different experience to India or Abu Dhabi - we're all working and it's a very sociable group, hence the lack of entries here . . . sorry :-)

This is a last attempt to get something onto the blog before departure this saturday on the red-eye at midnight after a day's work!!!

Watch this space over the next few days for more entries, meantime enjoy some general pics . . .
