Hong Kong 1 - China 1

2 Comments


Well the Great Wall is indeed a Great Wall. In fact it is much more than that. Words fail me when I come to describe how good the Wall actually is.

I spent 3 hours up there looking around and taking photos (one of which you can see here). admittedly, I don't make the whole 6,000 km) but I saw enough to tick this one off my list of places that I want to see before I die.

The pictures will be up on my web site: alibullock.com but as I write this I am still sorting out all the photos (so you'll just have to wait). But they are good and I will have them up by Sunday evening.

Speaking of places to see before you die, I have never thought to write that sort of list. I have seen the Empire State Building, The Great Wall, Houses of Parliament, Eiffel Tower and Red Square but I need to get a list together? Anyone got any suggestions...?

But if you consider culture, history (intact), ambiance, character, future prospects, food (and that's a big one), ease of language... then it's Hong Kong 1, Beijing 8.

OK, Hong Kong has Transport that works, proper english signs and history (even if they do knock it down once in a while)

I still think its a draw!
