Guys...plan a trip to India this year end... Waiting to see you exploring and amazed by my country....🙂🙂🙏🙏
Even ill and tired Allison still manages to smile that great smile! Troopers you both are! Thanks for always giving of yourselves and your experiences to us!🤗
Feel better Allison! So sorry about that terrible mattress. The food looked delicious. Hope you and Eric enjoy a lovely time in Hong Kong.😊🌷
Funny you mentioned Jake Gyllenhaal, I think Eric resembles him, especially in Nightcrawler. Hope you feel better soon, Alison.
I'll take it as a compliment! 💁♂️
Eric and Allison you’ll be fine. My family is originally from HK. HK was formerly British territory until China regained it in 1997. The 2 main languages there are Cantonese and English. Haven’t been there in years since all my relatives are here in the US. Definitely try some dim sum, that’s what HK is famous for. Kowloon is a great city for shopping since the exchange rate is low. Also, HK is known for custom made suits so Eric if you need one this is the place to get it. Their subway system is impressive, efficient and pristine. In my opinion it’s the best way to commute in the city, so enjoy! 😀
Their suits are amazing. Quality, made to fit. Took my son, he's 6'10 last year on holiday we got 3 for less than one in Europe.
Awwww feel better! Hoping you can get another place? Lcan’t imagine sleeping on that mattress for a week
I feel so dumb. When you zoomed in to show the spots on the lens, I started wiping my computer screen like, "What are all these spots from?". Lol. Love the videos!
Get feeling better enjoy and stay safe
Thanks Endless Adventure... :) We would LOVE (!) to see an updated bag haul with all your clothes and gadgets and supplies again. Particularly interested in your jewelry collection, what shops you shop at, and how you travel with such lovely jewelry:)Thanks so much!!!
Absolutely loved your Japan blogs. I'm going in August for two weeks - Hiroshima, Osaka & Tokyo. I went to HK a couple of years ago superb place. Keep up the great work guys. Love your stuff.
*vlogs. Blogs are written :)
You all have made my life richer.. Thank you m
The onward travel requirement is such a pain when you have loose plans. That best onward travel website seems very helpful.
will you have a Q&A show? What do you do if you don't feel well? How do you stay in shape?
I was born in Hong Kong and grew up there before moving away when I was 9 years old. I still go back there as frequently as I can manage to do so, because I really love the city.
I know you guys aren't there anymore, but I hope you've had a wonderful time.
You make being at an airport fun to watch!
Welcome to Hong Kong - finally you've reached my city :)
Hong Kong 😄
You guys are going to have an awesome time. Been 4 months since my visit.
Definitely recommend checking out Nam Sang Wai up in the north west of Hong Kong up near the Chinese border. Really quiet and peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Also had some really good cheap local tofu and dim sum there
Is there really still a border? I believed Hongkong is in China now?
@@UlliStein they came from Japan
@@UlliStein ...."Hong Kong is a 'Special Administrative Region’ (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China. It has its own laws, its own separate immigration, customs & border controls." So, yes, a border system still exists between the two.
ah thanks, I didn't know the exact construction.
No tbh bc i live in hk and not really fr
Welcome to HK! We are from Oregon and living here 7 years. Sorry your room looks so uncomfortable. Please let me know if you need anything. Love your channel.
Great to see you go somewhere British-y again. Driving on the left with double decker buses.
Don’t think you’ll have many problems with English speakers. Hong Kong was a British colony for 100 years
thing is, hong kong's english education quality dropped significantly when the first chief executive (after the handover took place) was chosen
@@solomontsai8589 Indeed, that was PRC government expected their government to follow their slavery rules by limiting educational rights and also promoting mother tongue language as well. That's how they dropped language abilities. PRC government always keep sending 150 persons to destroying British colony rules by their barbarian mindset. Even the persons are from Canton as well are exactly the same as this.
LOVE the locker montage. 😀😀😀
you managed to do more in Hong Kong in a few hours than I managed in over 2 years when I was with the Royal Navy Hong Kong Squadron back in the early 90s....Enjoy it is an awesome place
Hong Kong and Japan are so advanced and convenient. And all the cheap and amazing food!!!
I'm from Hong Kong BTW, but I'm leaving and you probably can guess why😢
aw i hope you feel better ! hugs and good juu juu from Virginia Beach
I’m sad to see Japan go! I’m gunna miss all the quirkiness of it, all the ramen, all the sushi you guys ate! 🍣 🍜 It was so much fun to see! I’m looking forward to your week in Hong Kong though! & I feel like it’s going to be a week, especially with that mattress! Get well soon Alison! 🥰💗 all the love x
Let's Gooo!
Ah we love Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Have a great time! Don’t miss the Big Buddha!
Hong Kong is awesome! I would love to go back some day
You should definitely visit Taipei Taiwan as well!
I love you guys you make your videos fun and interesting to watch your just fabulous
Good job for not being checked for onward ticket! My mom took exactly the same route in December last year (Hiroshima to Hong Kong with HK Express) and she was asked to show proof. We were born in Hong Kong but we were travelling with our Canadian passports. Perhaps they just do random checks.
Have fun in Hong Kong! Don't be afraid to go to those restaurants that are not on the street level. They are supposed to be even better.
You might try Macau for a sidetrip. Not only for the casinos, but Macau was Portuguese (with all that architecture and food) before it went back to China in 1999. Hong Kong, of course, was British. If you do go to Macau, a jetfoil will take a little less than an hour, but the unique experience might be a bus using the new bridge that connects Macau with HK.
Cool video have been watching Gabriel travellers videos from Hong Kong from his videos it looks super expensive
Yeah it's definitely one of the most expensive cities in the world. It's in the top 10 for most expensive to visit (6th), and in the top *3* I believe in the most expensive to live and own real estate lists
your travel videos are my favorite! hope Hong Kong treats you well :)
such engaging content
Hope you felt better..... Hong Kong is a fabulous place to be... Or at least, it was was when I was a small child back in the mid 1960's...... Nathan Road was always the main shopping area, the Ocean Terminal (which probably doesn't exist anymore) was another amazing place to be, and SOOO many wonderful beaches! Repulse Bay, Coffee Bay, Big-Wave-Bay... places I loved as a kid...!
Of course the airport is very different now, seeing as it's now built on Lantau Island, whereas when I lived there it was at Kai-Tak with the long runway pointing out to sea..... We used to go there sometimes just for a trip-out, to drink sodas, eat ice cream, and to watch the planes coming in and out.... those coming in had to do a near 45-degree turn over the city to line-up with the runway - it was a very spectacular and scary landing!!! :-D
Oh Hong Kong... I loved it, and would be almost scared to go back after 50 years, but yeah, I'd still love to visit again.. :-)
Enjoy it... :-)
Hi new subscriber here, as a Hong Konger I am so happy to have u guys visit my city. I hope you enjoy the food here :)
Nice one! Can’t wait for the next one, you have to try the beverage VLT! And eat genuine Chinese food at Dim Sum Square! You won’t regret it! Take care and be safe guys! Hugs from the Nelson’s in Philippines 🇵🇭♥️
Love all your videos!!!
Another travel UA-camr Gabriel is in Hong Kong currently as well if I remember right. It would be great to see both of you collab.
Check out the islands, Lamma has some great walks
Those mattresses are the worst but the most common, both my grandparents' mattress are exactly like that. Glad that you're staying in what looks to be Mong Kok? Amazing food around there! There's a long running HK cafe (Cha Chan Teng) in between Prince Edward and Mong Kok called "Kam Wah". They do the best HK style milk tea and "pineapple" bun with butter, an all time great for breakfast, tea or supper. Hope you enjoy Hong Kong!
The only time I was in Hong Kong, it was a boondoggle work trip where I stayed at the Mandarin Oriental and they even gave me a free upgrade to a suite. Ahhh, it was bliss. I don’t know if I could visit and subsist on my own budget given the sizes of budget accommodation. 😂
Hi, whats the light down there at 8 minutes 45 secs? Great work, by the way!
King of Cocnut for a great drink, and Tai Cheong for egg tarts
Feel better
LOVE HK!!! Go to Stanley Beach, if you are still there!!!!! Get some Dim sum!!!! ALL the food is amazing, everywhere you go!!
Visited HK last year, amazing
Gabriel Traveler is in HK--see if you can meet.
As are TEA. They haven't been there for probably 2-3 weeks in real time
Going to HK and Japan next month! Your vlogs are very helpful, very good timing for my upcoming trips.. yay! Subie here!!!! 🙋🏽♀️
If you want some more in-depth content to get ideas, I would recommend checking out Kyde&Erics' channel. They've been to HK twice, and they've lived in Japan for about 7 or 8 years, and they tend to stay in places longer than most of the travel vloggers and do much more in-depth videos on places :)
keandric 2 Thank you so much! I'll check that out!
Welcome :)
Hey there, thanks for watching and subbing! And yeah, definitely check out Kyde & Eric, they'll give you everything you need to know for sure 👌
Well, they put scallion on top because you asked for no chives? haha chives and scallions (spring onions) are different :D
Loving your adventures.
Have fun in Hong Kong guys x
Enjoy Hong Kong guys! Looking forward to seeing more HK videos 👍
Hey mate I was actually searching ‘Time Travel Hong Kong’ and I got redirected to this video 😂
aww. was in Hong Kong last week so just missed u 2. would have loved to meet up with u guys in person. if u're looking for places to eat i would recommend The Flying Pan in Wan Chai Australian Milk Diary at Jordan and Tsui Wah. all of those places have great food and are pretty value for $$.
Get well allison
Very firm beds are common in that part of Asia.
considering how far advanced hong kong as come in technology they had to take a transport idea off the UK which is the double decker buses
Take the new bridge from Hong Kong to Macau!
Can’t wait to see the apartment 😁😁
You guys are in for a Big treat when you explore HONG KONG----Jewel of the Orient!!! No more Ramen for lunch or dinner. Food is the Max, You are going to the Best Asian city of all Asia by any foreign Tourister....FOOD, SHOPPING, HOTEL accommodations to the Highest level hands down and don't to sightseeing galore you will never forget and don't forget your camera...now do you have enough time to take it all in that's the question!!! Nowhere in Asia will be the same.... and don't forget the Morning DIM SUM, and PEKING DUCK for dinner ....millions of foreigners visit HONG KONG than any Asian Destination...and don't eat RAMEN!!!! sure you can eat Ramen but not like Japenese Ramen or Sushi. You will be Amazed by all the OPTIONS to eat!!!
Always watching your vlog.
Hemm i think , you'll go to indonesia soon. After trip in hongkong.
I couldn’t believe it when you pulled all that luggage out of that little locker, it was like the clown car of lockers 😂
I always enjoy your videos. Youre a lovely couple.
Hope you sleep well take care
double decker bus!
Always enjoy your travel days... :)
You're in HK for a week...?
Are you considering a beach day (yes they have some nice sandy beaches)...?
How delayed is this video because I'll be passing through this coming weekend...?
They're probably delayed at least by 2 weeks
You're using a Sony A7ii? Thats one of the weaknesses of the A7 series. Sony installed IBIS but I wish they installed a sensor cleaning system just like Canon's. The new Canon EOS R automatically closes its sensor when you remove the lens. The cheaper EOS RP doesn't have this feature though.
can you recommend if its better to book flight to Hong Kong while in Japan or purchase that while at home. thx
Hong kong looks like the uk
yun need to visit jamaica
HK Express = Cathay Pacific LCC now
I thought Velvet Buzzsaw was pretty cool
I've never been asked for onward travel proof after landing in HK.
I think your locker wasn't closing because something was sticking out at the bottom.
Get the Octopus Card, it makes life in HK so much easier.
Beds in Asia are always a crapshoot but overall I think they are much harder than western mattresses
With all the different foods that you try, have you ever gone down with "Delhi Belly"?
Tony S no because they dont Go to delhi
I live in Hong Kong and watch people travelling in Hong Kong so weird
in Chinese cuisine it's not normal to put chives on top of food, i think that was spring onion
I can wait yeah go to Vietnam or Australian
👍
Oh dear, not a very happy bunny then, I dread to ask how you slept !!!!
It's pho 😁
Why do you not update a realtime link to your intended travel locations planner and let Adventurers help you with places to stay and things to do ? HK is in my top 5 places I ever visited. Going in blind is missing the experience ?
On the subject of ramen, might I suggest a delightfully quirky Japanese comedy film called Tampopo. The best description I can give is that it's a Japanese noodle western (as opposed to an Italian spaghetti western). ;-) There's the trailer, if you're so inclined: ua-cam.com/video/tY392wxb2Wk/v-deo.html
Looks like it wasn't the worst travel day. What was your favorite thing about Japan?
Yep, we've definitely had worse! We loved trying all the different dishes, but we always just miss the people and the culture. Everyone is super polite and helpful there 👍
@@Theendlessadventure that's awesome! My brother will be traveling to Japan in April. I shared your videos with him as well. He's very excited to see and experience the culture. He's admired it for sometime. Thank you for sharing!
Love the “travel days”! Eric you sound like you are getting hoarse. Be careful
I was actually sick in Japan, so we took some days off and didn't film, so I was actually still recovering in this video 😅 For some reason we never mentioned it!
I’ve been wanting to go to Japan so badly😍😍
Also I just uploaded a Spring break vlog in Jamaica and I’d love for you guys to check it out💖
What is this 'onward booking'?
Some countries you visit require you to have a ticket to show that you intend to leave the country. The onward booking website they talk about charges around $12 to book a flight for you, this gives you a ticket to show to border control or airline staff to prove that you intend to leave the country. Then the website cancels the flight as the purpose of the ticket has been fulfilled. It saves the person who requires it the time, effort and money of booking and cancelling their own flight if they don't need it.
@@angelnia86 soooo it's basically tricking the country into thinking you'll be leaving? 🤔 Lol
@@kikimg1 Yes lol a lot of backpackers/travelling people use it as they don't know for sure when they will be leaving. So instead of booking a ticket to leave in a week, then they decide there is more they want to see and want to stay another week and have to go through the hassle of cancelling their tickets, they will just wait and book a ticket to their next destination when they are ready.
If you stayed around until like June would've been even hotter for u. I was in Guangzhou China in the same year as you two and I had to shower 4 times a day. It's known to be humid there.
That Ramen looks perfect!! I miss Korea so much!! Even though I know that this is Japan.
Hey guys! Don't forget Macau. It has a lot to see and not only casinos. The food is far better than Hong Kong's. I live here and I know the city like the back of my hand. Let me show you around if it's not too late.
That room looks 3 feet long. Yikes!!
Love watching your seemingly endless adventures. Your travels to Slovenia a few months ago inspired me to plan a six-week trip to the Balkans. I have a travel question. When in a country, one of my first tasks is to get a pre-paid SIM card from a local provider, but the down-side is that along with the new SIM, one has a new (local) phone number, which poses a problem for those who try to send texts to the phone number of the original SIM. For example, I've scheduled a ride on a Flixbus from Ljubljana to Zagreb, but should some schedule change occur, Flixbus would try to contact me with a text to my old phone number associated with my US SIM. The ease with which you navigate the world makes me think you've figured this conundrum out, so I'd be ever so grateful for any insight you might be able to offer. Thanks, and I hope your adventures are as much fun in real life as you make them for your followers.
Or you could apply for a pocket wifi that's specific to a country or several countries. That's what I did when I was in southern France with family for a few weeks and we were 4 people connected to the pocket wifi. It was delivered to a collection point closest to us and when we were done, we just sealed it in the given envelope and dropped it off in the post.
So happy to hear that! We have an international plan with T-mobile, which is slow but it allows us to be connected everywhere and keep the same phone number. But if you're going to be switching out sims, I recommend getting a Google Voice number. You can receive texts there and the number never changes 👍
@@Theendlessadventure - Ooooo! Multiple thanks for the tip! And hope your endless adventures continue to be as much fun for you as for your followers.
Never stay at airb&b in Hong Kong! You never know what you gonna get
Wow you left just 10 days before it all went up in flames. Protests started on 31 March.
First like 🥰
