    I stayed at the peninsula for a couple of days, amazing hotel. You're a lucky guy to get to go there. If you are eating in the Chinese dim sum restaurant you are in for a truly amazing meal!

    That said, have fun, and take pictures!

    I stayed right next to the peninsula on my trip. Sham-shui-po is a little disapointing, but worth the trip just to see. Also make sure to visit the night market. And if your hotel is facing the bank of china and other buildings there is a light show every night.

    Hong kong is that movie with the big monkey, right?

    ...er... anyway.... Sounds like a cool trip, but of course you'll need to go back someday and spend some more time there.
