Short trip, Jestar, what next?

A strange post?

A great deal has happened in the recent past.  We had wanted to move to Hong Kong and when work fell through (and with it, a VISA) and accommodation fell through, we had to return to our home town.

But we had 4 nights accommodation and flights paid for, so we thought "hey, why not make use of it?"

It'll also give me the opportunity to flight test a low cost carrier and a two stage flight to HK.  

Usually, we just jump a Qantas flight on super special and fly directly to HK.  This time, we're with Jetstar (cheerfully nicknamed "Deathstar").  Flying from MEL-SIN-HKG over a fair number of hours.

So a review of that effort (and any tips) will be forthcoming.  As noted in other places, a big tip with Jetstar is a. bring your own tablets and b. Buy snack food for the trip.  It's even on the Jetstar website, so they're cool with it.  The other advantage is that we touch down in Changi Airport, can buy dinner and breakfast and then fly the shorter jump to HK.
No trip to Macau this time :(

Cannon in New Territories - HK isn't just shopping, you know?

More cool history stuff

Lovely lights in HK

So 4 days in HK - we'll do as much as we can in those four days and post lots of photos and new tips if needed.


We plan on spending some more time on HKI this time



Hong Kong, how we love thee.
