Hong Kong ke Rang!!

We are staying in a Hotel called Bishop Lei International which is in mid-levels in Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong Island is one of the 4 territories in Hongkong. There are other good ones like Kowloon. But this is the place where the money, people and the highrise buildings are there. This is the island which turns up on all those Hong kong tourism site ads and post cards. It is a very small island and well connected. The roads are too narrow and people walk very fast and all over the place. The financial hub in Hong Kong is Central. It is where the business is in Hong kong. The area is full of bankers and executives in their business attire walking from one building to another without having to touch down on the ground. There are sleek elevators, escalators and direct connectors between buildings. You have to venture out on the roads during the lunch time to see the mayhem. Hell breaks loose as whole of the HOngkong is on streets. From Mid levels the place where we stay there is a so called travelator which is world famous, its a continuous stretch of flat travelators and escalators down the hill (and uphill depends on the time of the day). Its about 1-2 kms of travel without having to walk. This is one reason we dont have to pay for our travel up and down the hill daily to the work. In the morning there is also a free shuttle from the Hotel which drops us at Central from where it is just a few hundred metres away. Strangely most of us in this hotel turned out to be vegetarians and to our utter dismay we cannot find proper vegetarian food at any local restaurant. There is a place called Lung Kai Fung where there are a few Indian restaurants which serve good food. But otherwise it's a fight daily to get vegetarian food.Chater House where JP Morgan has its muiltiple floors of office is great. It houses all the top brands in the world like Armani and what not. My desk is on the 25th floor of the building and it is a trading floor full of Swordfish type computers with 2-6 screens for a single PC. Looks mind boggling. Work has already started in full swing and I am working for about 12 hours a day after long time. On Saturday we had gone to an island which is about an half an hour travel on Ferry from Hong Kong Island. Its a hilly island with a small waterfall, a small beach etc. Each of us rented a bicycle( that is how ppl travel around the place) and went around the island which was great fun. On Sunday we went for a hiking on a hilly place called Shek - O. We went on the trail called Dragon's back. Its called so coz it has ups and downs just like a dragons back.. it was raining slightly and the whole areas was very foggy. It was really a great experience doing the climbing.. Then we went to a beach nearby which was awesome.. the color of the seawater was good and the beach was nice. Wanted to jump into the water but because of bad planning didnot take extra clothes so just went leg deep into the water..
