To Hong Kong I would have to fly again because Sydney and Hong Kong are quite far apart.
To go to Turkey I would take the Train because there is more to see and do and it would take to long with car.
To go to Berlin from Italy I would have to take the Car as it is not very far apart and taking train or Flying would just be a waste of money.
To go from Berlin to Italy I would say I would take the car again as it is an easy facility and you can stop for breaks to take some fresh air in, because in trains you go straight through and have to wait until your there.
To go back to London I would take the Train because you don’t have to change to go on a Ferry and with Car you do have to.
Hong Kong
Weather:
In Hong Kong the weather is very changeable. From March to mid May the Temperatures are around 18°C (64°F) to 27°C (80°F). Sometimes there are Showers so always carry around a raincoat. Occasionally they have mist so always carry around a Jumper. From late May to the mid of September the Temperatures are from round about 26°C (79°F) to 33°C (91°F). At this time of Year it rains even more and so I advise you to take a Raincoat.
Scenery:
The scenery there is beautiful because there is a lot of Water where many activities can take place like sailing.
Hong Kong and its Waters.
There are a lot of Beaches and one of them is Deep water Bay. Another beautiful spot is Repulse Bay where there is a golden sand beach, beautiful view, a variety of restaurants, and a traditional Life Guard Club with two huge statues of Kwun Yum and Tin Hau, both protectors of fishermen.

Places of Interest;
There are many thins to see and do, like you can go and look inside one of the many fantastic Museums and Wonders that have been restored. Especially good is the Village Sam Tung UK. There are many colourful Festivals including the Lantern Festival, Tin Hau Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and The Festival of Asian Arts. A rich person called Aw Boon Haw made the Aw Boon Haw Gardens. There are many mythical creatures from old Chinese myths to be seen.
The Aw Boon Haw gardens.
The Tai Wong Temple leans on a steep hillside. This hillside is completely natural and holds the Temple upright. There are a number of Fortunetellers near or outside the Temple, which means they can be very superstitious.
Transport Facilities:
By Rail
Two subway tunnels that connect the Island with the mainland. Railway service, the MTR or Mass Transit Railway is an efficient and inexpensive way of travelling. There are store- value cards for both rail systems, called as the Octopus Card for faster and cheaper way to travel.
By trams
Trams only serve the north shore of Hong Kong Island from Shau Kei Wan in the east to Kennedy Town in the west. The service operates from 7 am to midnight.
By ferry
The Star Ferry connects Hong Kong Island and Kowloon with the Outlying Islands. The ferry services cross- harbour routes.
By road
There are only three roadway tunnels to connect the Island to the mainland. But there are buses and taxis.
Why I would like to go:
I would like to go because they have a very different culture, they speak a different Language and they dress different. They have new places that I have never seen before and things I could go and have a look at. I could try to learn some things from their Language and try to behave the way and dress the way they do.
