The Wall, the Great Wall

The Great Wall. What can I tell you about it? Please don't go to the most touristic part of it, known as Badaling where it will even be very hard to take a picture without being bothered by groups of tourist. Go to an other undiscovered part where you will feel there as if you were alone in the middle of the most powerful world wonder.

It will never disappoint you to take a different adventure, as if you were an expert on the Great Wall!!!

Istanbul, asian part

When going crossing the Bosphoros, you reach the asian part of Istanbul, a great residential area full of beautiful weekend 'houses', nice beaches and the most famous shopping area, Baghdad Street. It is an interesting shopping street about 10 km long and runs from Bostanci to Kadiköy. It is full of shops, bars, coffee places, restaurants, terraces, etc. Walking there is like being in Rodeo Drive of Los Angeles.
By the way, going there by taxi is not recommended. Take a car by your own, or take a boat.
You won't regret it!!!!

Hong Kong, world capital

Hong Kong is an amazingly clean city. Apart from smoking being widely forbbiden in bars, restaurants and public parks, streets are quite clean. When going to Hong Kong do not forget going for shopping. Get lost in Causeway Bay and in Kowloon as well.

You can't miss going to a Japanese restaurant (you'll find many around the city and a very good price), going to the Peak by bus (nº15), is much cheaper and takes you around the other part of the mountain.

Do some shopping in one of the several beauty shops where asian brands such shiseido are way much cheaper. In these beauty shops you will find many cute devices for face and body as well as beauty products you had never seen before!!!

Your last day in the city can be as easygoing as any other day, by going to Central and doing your flight check in in the city so you can forget about your luggage!!!

When going there, please forget about Finnair http://www.finnair.com/ whith small spaces between seats, with often delays on flights, and with terrible food on cabin. Trust me, we had been flying with several other airlines and in Finnair we were missing small things such us socks, brush and tooth paste, and of course, individual tv screen as they have in Air France, British, etc.

We booked our hotels through http://www.asiarooms.com/ and it was a great experiences. Apart from the fact that they have an excellent feedback as quick as possible the hotels they are offering trhough their website are great price/value. We finally chose JJ Hong Kong Hotel and it is recommended!!!
