Hong Kong Day 2

I had seen lots of interesting things out and about yesterday not least was effectively a huge electrical and electronics street market near to where I had bought my radio. I went back up there with the intention of trying to find a small MP3 player for when I will be driving later. I ended up buying a Multimedia player which seems to play anything including video and lasts for over 8 hours on a charge ideal for a flight and putting in a car when the local radio is not worth listening to! I went back down to the water front in the early evening to watch the Light show which is put on every night. Standing on the Avenue Of Stars you can see across the water to Hong Kong Island, music is played through speakers behind you and the sky-scrapers on the opposite bank are lit in sequence to the music along with lasers and spotlights sweeping the straits between. After the show I headed back to the Hotel and mis read a sign and ended up at the Tsim Sha Tsui EAST MTR station, and as I had already entered the platform area had to take a huge round trip of the system to get to the station I wanted (which was only 3 stops from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR – the two are not linked without surrendering your ticket)
