Here some nice 360° images of Hong Kong:

Yesterday i went into HongKong with a local friend. He showed me the district called : Tsim Sha Tsui (尖沙咀). Before i stared my journey i was planned to book a hotel at this district. Im so happy i didn’t book there. Wherever you walk there lots of Indian people who ask to all the caucasians if they need a room or taxi. The crowd is huge. Every street every restaurant is full of people. I was so lucky i booked my hotel on Hong Kong Island. Thats the better place to stay and walk around. My local friend told me also lot of people who lives on the island almost never goto the other side of the river.

To reach the Tsim Sha Tsui you can use the MTR or Ferry. The Ferry is nice to do, you will also passed by Apple Store IFC Hong Kong.  In the Tsim Sha Tsui District there are streets with only electronics, or camera equipment, or dry food. Its funny to see that this is centralized.

After a long day we went back and drop my camera and went to a Japanese restaurant. It was delicious! All the breakfast and dinners where good. Prices are between 50-150 HK$.

When you visit HongKong and walk around on the island you will think whats going on here. All small streets seems so old and bad condition. But its stil the upper class location. In every street you can find restaurants and places to buy food.

At the end i went to Hong Kong Station and used the Airport Express Shuttle. It will stop on different locations and will bring you easy and fast to Airport Express Train Station. Within 24minutes you will be on the Airport. When you arrive you can buy a 2way Airport Express ticket include 3 days free use of MTR for 350 HK$.

I went to the Ngong 360 cablecar terminal to see the Po Lin-Monastery and the Buddha. TIP: Go early, in morning. I waited almost 1,5 hours before i was in the cablecar. But it was worth it! The view was beautiful and you have a nice for view over the human made island for Hong Kong Airport. After a ride of 15-20minutes i reaced Po Lin-Monastery. The feeling was excellent. People pray everywhere or give a sign to the Buddha. I had my photography equipment with me and the stair was long, hard and suffering to get on top to see the Buddha. It was a huge statue and i felt so minuscule. After visiting this place i went back. Was so tired of all impressions i went directly to my Hotel. I took a shower and get some dinner.

Its a short message, but im back on the track. Tomorrow i gonna try to upload the new images, and some 360 impressions of the subway in Hong Kong and visited the “Lantau Peak” and the Buddha and Po Lin-Monastery. But for now i gonna sleep, it was a long day!

Of a overwhelming by reaching my hotel in Hong Kong I forgotten my MacBook  from the back seat. I feel so sad. Went to police and called some lost and found departments… Hoping they will find it. But for now this will be my last blog … Maybe some very easy one and just some iPhone images. But no high red experience photo’s. 

Again i have a sad feeling by leaving Singapore. In April and Juli 2014 went to Singapore as well, and 2 times had the feeling i never want leave this nation. Tried to find my way to stay and live here. Its hard to find a job that fits so you can get a work permit. So if someone read this and have the opportunity to let me work in Singapore… let me know.

Im now at Changi Airport waiting for my flight to HongKong. Also a place i want see for so long period. Im gonna meet a friend over there so that will be great to meet him in his own country. We did meet already in Amsterdam. Later you will read and see the beautiful and maybe the other side of Hong Kong. I always curious who a country looks like when you leave the touristic path and see how the people living.

Yes, something else then travel, but i explain why.

I promised 2 years ago to a boy who died about aids. This teddybear lost a his friend because of aids. There was a demonstration on “Museumplein” Amsterdam to “Stop Aids Now”. You can take a teddybear and make a photo with hashtag #stopaidsnow. of yourself include the teddybear.

At that moment i did a promise to that for me unknown kid: I will take this teddybear everywhere. So spiritual the kid will see the world how it looks like, and will remember forever.

So this journey is also a little journey for this kid and this Teddybear. You will see some pictures of this teddybear to remember everyone:

“Stop Aids Now”

Also all seats on all flights are done now. Not most important, but when you select the right one you will have a comfortable flight.

I always select a seat at the end of the plane. And next to path. You can easily go out your seat and have a little stretch in front of the exit.

Im getting nervous… Everything is done, packed and double check my stuff… Installed a plugin in WordPress to push everything to all my social media i use.
