Oh how HONG KONG fascinates all who meet her !<\/p>\n

In HONG KONG you can go from the traffic above .. to the irony of the below !\u00a0 NO BICYCLE PARKING HERE !!<\/p>\n

\"HONG<\/a><\/p>\n

How can one LOVE a building\u00a0?\u00a0\u00a0I LOVE the YMCA Hotel\u00a0in KOWLOON.\u00a0 It also has a restaurant and many meeting rooms that host conferences and meetings of many kinds as well as a physical fitness facility.<\/p>\n

\"HONG<\/a><\/p>\n

On the ninth (9th) floor of the YMCA\u00a0is a pay phone that I use to call the United States. I absolutely LOVE to look out the window beside the pay phone at the below view of Hong Kong Island and Victoria Harbour.<\/p>\n

\"HONG<\/a>I never tire of the above view !<\/p>\n

And then we have the STAR FERRY FLEET .. OH MY !<\/p>\n

\"HONG<\/a><\/p>\n

I think that every visitor LOVES the STAR FERRIES !!<\/p>\n

\"HONG<\/a><\/p>\n

I ride The Star Ferries\u00a0from KOWLOON across Victoria Harbour\u00a0to HONG KONG ISLAND.\u00a0 And I ride them back to KOWLOON.\u00a0 And I ride them back and forth yet again and again !!<\/p>\n

\"HONG<\/a><\/p>\n

SINGAPORE RIDE NOODLES .. I can eat them morning and noon and night !<\/p>\n

\"HONG<\/a><\/p>\n

\"HONG<\/a><\/p>\n

I need no other restaurant than this one !<\/p>\n

\"HONG<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you see THE MAN in the light blue shirt in the\u00a0above photo?\u00a0\u00a0He IS .. THE MAN !<\/p>\n

\"HONG<\/a><\/p>\n

During my visit to HONG KONG back in early September of 2011 .. of all things .. the young ladies in the below photograph asked me IF I would pose with them for a photo.\u00a0 There were three of them so we did three photos .. one with each of them.\u00a0 Then I\u00a0decided that I would have them shoot a photo with my camera so that I too would have this memory.<\/p>\n

\"HONG<\/a><\/p>\n

They are cute BUT .. they are NOT Patti !\u00a0 Sorry Girls !<\/p>\n

\"DREAM<\/a><\/p>\n

We can’t wait to DO some HONG KONG in a ..<\/p>\n

DAY OR SO !!<\/span><\/p>\n

Smiles from the two-of-us .. Cap and Patti ..<\/p>\n
