I've been to many other big Asian cities but there is nothing quite like the Chungking Mansion.<BR/><BR/>I didn't try the curries there either for whatever reason. I'm not even sure why now that I think of it because I love curry. Maybe the guy I wasn't travelling with didn't wanna eat it. I can't remember. <BR/><BR/>Definitely gonna look up Gordon Matthews and see what he got to say.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.<BR/><BR/>Just wondering how you came across my page?Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936797135391199578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826448547249634786.post-2617595270381656242009-04-09T01:47:00.000-07:002009-04-09T01:47:00.000-07:00I'm a bit regretful that I didn't try the curries ...I'm a bit regretful that I didn't try the curries in the lobby - apparently the best Indian food in Hong Kong.WEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635019254405051471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826448547249634786.post-75351548583100553912009-04-09T01:46:00.000-07:002009-04-09T01:46:00.000-07:00Hey man, I stayed in ChungKing in February, and it...Hey man, I stayed in ChungKing in February, and it seemed okay. My Hong Kong friend told me I was nuts to stay there, but it's fine. <BR/><BR/>The touts are friendly and helpful if you give them the time of day and treat them as people instead of as a nuisance, and chaos is a part of Hong Kong. The beds are cramped and the lack of windows drive you crazy after a few days, but it's fine for a short trip. It IS a bit intimidating late at night when it's half-lit and deserted, but that's cool too. <BR/><BR/>Chung King was probably the most interesting bit of Hong Kong for me. Google Gordon Mathews; he's an anthropologist who spent a few years researching the place.WEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635019254405051471noreply@blogger.com
