In article , Amoeba says...
Now, two passports are commonly used here and the nationalities printed on them are different. When we use BN(O) passports, the nationality is "British National (Overseas)". When we use the SAR passport, our nationality is "Chinese". Many of us have two passports. With the BNO passport are you allowed to settle down in the EU and work? I know that you are not allowed to do that in the UK, but what about the EU ? -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de/Galleries.htm - Photos from Myanmar, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Egypt, Germany, Austria, Prague, Budapest and Portugal |

yeah, there are much more to see other than the skyscrapers.
http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/...ck/index.jhtml If you visit Ocean Park, kids can try many rides and see some animals such as dolphins, pandas, seals, parrorts, etc. Ofcourse, i can't deny that the Ocean Park is smaller than any theme park in the US or other western countries. http://www.oceanpark.com.hk/f_index.html For the Disneyland Hong Kong, it will open on 12 Sept 2005 (HK Time). The entrance fee is the cheapest fee among all other Disneyland all over the world, but I've heard there are only 3 main parts there. I'm not very sure about this, btw. There are many country parks in Hong Kong. Visitors can go barbecue in autum/winter time and even go hiking. Some westerners (I guess some of them are inhabitants as they go hiking with their dogs) go hiking in HK Island and Lamma Island. http://www.afcd.gov.hk/parks/parks_e.htm Or they can go to the Hong Kong Park, Zoological and Bontanial Gardens, etc. There are really many beaches in HK. http://www.lcsd.gov.hk/beach/en/index.php If you go to Lamma Island, you can go hiking and then reach a beach. If you continues, you can reach the other part of the island and had seafood there. Stanley is also a nice place for tourists as it has a market, a beach, restaurants, pubs and barbecue sites. Space museum is not a big museum but it is a good place to visit. Kids can watch the omnimax show (like IMAX in western countries? Movies are displayed on the sperical ceiling) there. http://www.lcsd.gov.hk/CE/Museum/Space/e_index.htm If you visit www.lcsd.gov.hk, you can find much more activities that may be suitable for kids. "Alfred Molon" ??? ???... In article , Bob Myers says... tour. Of the two, just for a place to start, I would have to say that Hong Kong would probably be of more interest to the kids than Shanghai, unless the kids are unusually (for their ages) interested in seeing places or items of cultural or historical interest. I would avoid Hong Kong, because it's basically a very crowded place full of skyscrapers with a very high population density (people, people everywhere. Not a place where to relax with kids. It's a very urban area, with not so many attractions for children. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de/Galleries.htm - Photos from Myanmar, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Egypt, Germany, Austria, Prague, Budapest and Portugal |

No, we are not allowed to settle down and work in the UK and the EU.

If you visit Beijing, it's a "must" to visit the Great Wall and Forbidden
City. I never been to Beijing or Shanghai. In my impression, they are places for sightseeings because they have so many impressive historical buildings. They are also modern and busy cities. Maybe there are much more than I can imagine because I am not familiar with these cities. If i have a chance, I'd love to visit them. For cities in Guangdong (e.g. HK, Macau, Zhuhai, etc.), it's more like a city for having various fun. Macau and HK have some historical buildings reflecting the past time of being colonies but it's not as big and impressive as those buildings in Beijing and Shanghai. Other places in China has great nature. "PeterL" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤ ¼¶¼g... Yes you do want to plan your trip around specific sites. Imagine going to China and not seeing the Great Wall or the Forbidden City or Xian. It's like going to NYC and not visiting the Lady. Your kids will go back to school and when asked what did you see in China, give a blank look. "Well, we didn't see anything in particular. We just had a good overall experience." -dm |
