I Love Hong Kong! 20th February

so its coming the end of the 2nd day for me in Hong Kong and so far its been. How should I put it... Fucking Awesome! Yeah that sounds about right.
We landed about half 6 in the morning so i did abit of tactical sleeping on the flight to adjust my sleep pattern. Watched abit of 300, law abiding citizen and funny people on the plane.
first thing we did was hope on the coach taking us to the hotel. The views from the coach were amazing even though there was some really thick fog. The landscape is breathing, mountains everywhere with high rise buildings dotted around (theres one on our island theres an apartment building going up 83 floors!)
We got to the hotel about half 8 so couldn't check. a few of us decided to go and get some breakfast and found an irish pub next door. What better than a full english breakfast buffet!
the 6 of us (me, danny, matthew the BFG, jack, james and ben) made plans for the day there, finished our drinks and left.
1st thing we decided to do was to catch the train to see the big budda on Hong Kong island which was bigged up quite abit. We struggled quite alot with the tickets and train which was hilarious! (especially when you are taking the piss out of the locals) we had to change at 'Lai King' but not before passing a few stations, for example 'Mong Kok' which provoked a few giggles.
We got to Tung Chung were the cable car up the mountain was. We were getting a few looks off the locals (being the only brittish people around) a couple of chinese girls got a few pictures of us which was funny.
the view from the cable car across the island and the airport with the backscene of the mountains and see were awe inspiring. About half way up the fog closed around us and for about 15mins there was nothing to see but white.
At the top we got off and started walking up hill towards the buddy. We bumped into the others and they warned us that it was abit of a trek and the fog stopped us seeing the budda.
We ignored them and carryed on. They were right. After climbing up 300 steps, pausing for cramp, we took a short break to take pictures and admire the budda.
On the cable car on the way we got stuck and was in limbo for atleast an hour which was annoying!
We got back to the hotel, checked in and decided to meet back downstairs at half 6 to start boozing. Me, Danny and The BFG decided a short nap was in order. Unforunately we slept through our alarm and didnt get up and start boozing in murphys until half 8.
Us 3 walked into murphys to meet up with the other 3, to find that everyone else decided to get a meal which meant us 6 were left to our devices. This event marked the beginning of the 6 of us labelling ourselves the Outkasts! About 11 oclock we decided that we would jump over to Hong Kong island and hit the bars. We had to get the ferry over but not before James got stopped by the police for jay walking!
The view of both Kowloon and Hong Kong was like a light show! we got there and hit the bars straight away and within a hour Jack had pulled and I had my balls cupped... classy place!
we hit a few more bars and looked into going to a strip club or getting a chinese massage ;)
James decided to get a tattoo on the spur of the moment on his neck, i was very very very tempted.
We jumped into a taxi and relocated somewhere else, which was a great shout! my memory fades from here but im told it was a good night, purely because Ben had blood all over him!
woke up bright and early this morning and giggled about last night with the lads before grabbing some breakfast at maccie d's.
We had a couple of hours to spare so we took a stroll around to take it all in. You don;t half feel tiny compared to 60 floored buildings everywhere.
we got back to the hotel to meet up for our tour around Hong Kong. 1st placed we visited was Victoria Peak to get a better of the city which was amazing! Again the 6 of us got disconnected from the group and the back of the bus our home from home. The Outkast thing is really getting hilarious at this point but hey, we went out last night and had a whale of a time whilst they got some drink and stayed in their rooms, exciting!
The next stop was Stanley Market. The Outkasts took a stroll round to get some food and that. Put 6 lads together and let them stubble upon a football cage and you have a recipe for good times! These 5 local lads offered us a game of football, the start of a very very funny hour!
We went 2-0 down but then started to get into the swing of things and play some proper sexy football. The BFG was our target man (he was like 2ft taller than the rest) we then stormed to a 7-3 victory! We attracted quite a crowd aswell, im not sure whether it was the sexy football or the fact we all had our tops off and started playing a few side games. I decided the appropriately named chinese tiny tim was coming home with me so i could cook a lovely pie with him. He was a slippery bugger and had me and james chasing him around stanley market to the amusement of the locals.
Next stop was our meal which was distincly average. The Outkasts were split up and had to fend for ourselves within 'the group'
Now we find ourselves back at the hotel preparing for another night out but this time I am led to believe 'the group' our coming out. So i leave you with a question...

Can they keep up with The Outkasts?

We shall see
