Thank u Christina for your enthusiasm and for gamely answering our many questions! It was fun doing a tour with a local who brought us on a minibus ride up to the peak, and took us on a hike to the Victoria peak gardens. Christina also helpfully provided us with lots of recommendations on food. We were rewarded with many lovely views from the peak too!

Today's Wanchai tour has been great again. In particular, I enjoyed Susanna's explanation on Chinese superstition, the Chinese zodiac, as well as the history of Wanchai. From a fishing village, where the Chinese coolies' lived to a bar scene where the British navy came to meet friends and girls, right up to when the Japanese marched the streets of Wanchai with bayonets, during the Japanese' occupation of Hong Kong, I could honestly visualize the whole history of Wanchai right in front of my eyes. The stories about Chinese weddings also intrigued me, which made my visit at Lei Ting Street even the more interesting. Last but not the least, Susanna also brought me to a "Cha Chaan Teng" (ie. a Chinese improvised western restaurant) where I also enjoyed some Chinese-style western food. Trust me, it has all been a fascinating experience for me with these tours. So, I truly look forward to Susanna'a Central tour tomorrow, as she promised me that it would be her best! I recommend all visitor Uri Wulff Israel
