    I think this is tight but workable. I think you have to pick a hotel outside of tourist areas for better price. I do not have a lot of info about such hotels because most company guests whose visits I have coordinated have more relaxed budgets. I’ll try to find some info tonight. 

    Here is a most popular site for restaurants: http://www.openrice.com/english/restaurant/index.htm
    If you know Chinese, the site is even more informative when you click the “中文” version.
    If you plan to do hiking in HK, it is better to come after late November and before April. HK is quite hot and humid in other months, unless you are already accustomed to such climates.
    There are many great and easy to access trails. Some are more difficult, some are easier. You can get some ideas in this government site:
    As for public transport:
    Hope this help.

    There are so many choices. You have to decide on a budget first. For example, how much you plan to pay for a day in the hotel. How much for a day for food. etc, etc, etc

    Wow! That must be a lot of tea! I have never heard that tea can cause joint pain. I drink 6 to 10 cups a day and I hope I am not getting that!

    Is this available in HK? I prefer real shop when it can give me what I need. What’s the Kanji for this?

    I like Longjing tea. How do I avoid its ‘cool TCM’ to affect me? I cannot have too much ginger.

    Funny that you are so obsessed with compressed teas. To me they seem antiques. Not for drinking  😛 I think it is really strange that so many stores selling this kind of stuff in USA. Only some older people in Hong Kong buy this kind of things. None of my friends do. So I wonder why young people in USA buy them.

    I think there is no need to hurry for more articles. Every time I read one I discover so many more to read! Your site is to me is already like a wiki for tea! You rest well first ar!

    Hello Ice, you are right. I had a little bit dry throat and hot lips the next morning and suspected that it was from the ginger too, but that’s easily taken care of with a glass of lemon honey! Much better than having that tea drunk hangover feeling.

    Thank you, Leo! Followed your recipe after lunch, the headache was gone and I have had the longest afternoon nap ever! Perhaps I had been sleeping badly because of the tea drunk. Now I worry because I am waking up before dinner, can I fall to sleep tonight?  @-)

    I don’t remember how much I drank, we were just continuously making tea in 2 gaiwans comparing different technques and how many times we can repeat the infusions. It was a 500g pack and when we finished that night, at last 1/3 was used. The tealeaves are green and very flowery, not brown like Tea Hong’s classic style. We had a bit of McDonald after work. The headache came a bit before I said we should be going coz when I felt it I was thinking we may be tea drunk. I normally don’t have headache. The two other girls had it too. So all 3 of us are still taking Panadol, this is the 2nd morning after! But not so strong now. I feel like a puffed up duck now and very tired. My long weekend… 🙁
