So my lil 'un is now a toddler and we are taking the meatball on a trip to HKG in November for five days. I will be meeting them in HKG after a work trip in China and rendezvous with them. Thus far we have booked the Hotel - AKVO hotel at Sheung Wan. Other than that, things are pretty open. I did do a search, but nothing similar came up and some of the threads are much older too.. So what I need help on please: - toddler friendly food places near Sheung Wan and attractions - toddler friendly attractions, bearing in mind the lil 'un still needs a small afternoon nap - places for wifey to shop that are also toddler friendly near Sheung Wan I'm not big on Disney and the queues are nuts, so it's ok not to go there... Maybe one larger excursion, eg the Peak? The outer new territories and such? I have three Octopus cards thanks to a friend. One more important thing is to go for a special dinner with the wife as our tin anniversary is coming up soon too so maybe something special yet kid friendly close to our hotel? Many thanks bros

On this thread, I'll share some videos on the sights and sounds of Washington DC, the capital of USA. In honour of MCF, the first two videos will be on cars. Here is one. A 1977 Honda Civic. This car revolutionized American car industry. Did this car come to Singapore? Here is the second. This car was called the Tucker Automobile from 1948. It was a commercial failure.

During one of our cruise stops recently, we had a day in Athens. Technically the ship called at the Port of Piraeus, which was very near Athens. We hired a private driver to bring us around for the day, and it was a wonderful day with good weather, bearing in mind this was December (i.e. winter). We saw the changing of guards at the Greek Parliament, went up Mt Lycabettus, Acropolis including Aeropagus, New Acropolis museum and other sights. I made several videos but here is just one short video summarizing what we did that day. http://youtu.be/bfABTgvEFRY If there is interest here, please shout out and I will post more of my review. Have a great day!
