HK - after the weekend

I've checked into my hotel and it's been a wonderful 2 days so far in Hong Kong. Mave has been an excellent guide - THANK YOU!! An extremely patient shopping companion and such an amazing foodie, all the recommendations etc - Yum!

I've gone to so many outlets and I've had one of the best Japanese Scallop sushi I've ever had in my life!! ==> look at the pic, you can't even see the sushi rice underneath - trust me, it's the freshest I've ever had!

Also, the last dinner I had with Mave at North Point area (Java Market) was fantastic!! - I've got most of the cards with me - so feel free to check in with me before you ever fly again to HK!

The Holiday Inn Express is an excellent location next to Times Square on Causeway Bay (where you have the MTR as well) on Hong Kong Island and it's new - and quite modernly designed. Ain't the posh-iest 5 star stay, but I have free cable internet for my laptop, daily breakfast, cable TV, and 4 cushy pillows on my bed - bliss! Especially all at just SGD158 a night taxes inclusive - think I can recommend it to all my girlfriends coming for a short trip. I hate to think how my next stop - Shanghai would be like!!! Don't get me wrong, I love Shanghai - but I just hate to think the accomodation is very very unbearable in a way from what I gather from colleagues who've been, since it's a company apartment building...I guess we'll see...I've brought my own towels and slippers and everything just to be prepared for the worst...and, I'm totally on my own.

Shopping has been fruitful to date (as always) and I should be turning in soon...Training starts tomorrow - interesting...
