The Hodge Blog

Join the eponymous Hodge and his bunch of fiftysomething mates on a laughter and alcohol fuelled trip to Hong Kong to celebrate his 50th Birthday. Chart their progress through the planning stages, the gruelling flight from the UK, first impressions of HK, success, or failure, at Happy Valley Races and the casinos of Macau, and the special treat that awaits the Birthday Boy. A certain amount of poetic licence may be employed by the authors, so don’t believe everything you read!

The Culture Bit - Part 1

Just to prove that we have seen a little of cultural Hong Kong, well I have, here are a few photos of the Po-Lin Monastery and the Big Buddah, and he was big even by my standards. A good day out this one, 30 minutes by MTR to Chung Tung on Lantau Island then either a cable car, for those not hungover, or a bumpy twisting 40 minute bus ride (the number 23) through the mountains, for those who are just a bit hungover, to Ngong Ping. It's all a bit commercialised when you get there but it's worth the trip. I think Meister may have gone today.
