Kowloon & Lan Kwai Fong






Lan Kwai Fong is a bar steet area in HK, much like Beijings Sanlitun but more foreigners. All the bars here are foreign owned and they actually play good music and not this crappy 90ties techno crap which is what you most of the time hear in Beijing...

I went to see a Buddhist temple where they had hundreds of preyer notes hanging from the roof and strange incents burning. The temple was thick with good smelling incents and it was very different from the other Buddhist temples I've been to before.
After that I went to see Sun Yat-sens home. He was sort of Chinas president before the communist party rose into power in China. A guy who wanted peace and unite China into a great country. He succeeded in doing that but 20 years after his death the communist party took over with Mao in charge.

In the evening I went by boat over to Kowloon which is the northern island of Hong Kong. They have hundreds and hundreds of stores there! It looks just like in the movies at this place.
It's been 26 degrees today and I love wearing shorts and slippers :)
Heard there is a snowstorm in Beijing at the moment, too bad I'm here enjoying summer :P
