I am going to Hong Kong tomorrow morning.
While I am there I will update my visa, then take in the city. At night I hope to see some live music.
Anyone else want to go? I have never been before and quite frankly will likely get lost. I can navigate Shenzhen easily though.

Permalink Reply by Zoinked on October 15, 2012 at 7:22pm I have no idea how to get to get to the VISA office or best way to Hong Kong or where the nightlife is. But I enjoy the challenge. I have been to a few places where I couldn't speak the language and still have all my body parts intact.
I am probably asking for more trouble inviting a total stranger to join me then to wander the streets solo.

This is what I figured out ...
1. Take 794 bus or cab to Shenzhen Bay Customs
2. Buy bus ticket to Wanchai before going through customs
3. Something about MTR exit A5 (not sure if I get on Metro or not or where)
4. Walk on bridge until HK immigration building, turn right, enter China Resource Center (red building)
After VISA has been handled:
A. Head to Jaffe Road or Luard Road and look for hotel
B. Head home to Shenzhen if no hotel
C. If hotel, hit Dusk Till Dawn, Spicy Fingers, and Neptune 2
