Kowloon, Hong Kong

We arrive in Hong Kong in the early morning, that's a good thing, it will give us some time to find a hotel for the night. We directly go to the tourist info centre at the airport and ask where we can find a cheap accommodation. The answer is Kowloon, the city centre. After some 45 minutes of bus, here we are, in the middle of Hong Kong looking for a place to stay for the night. Every 15 meters we are stopped by someone who wants to offer us a cheap hotel night. We follow those persons 3 or 4 times through narrow corridors and in elevators where we do not even fit with our bags. They make us go up and down the 5th, 10th, 15th floor of a insalubre building to show us a tiny dirty "room" with children beds and no window. Each one of them assures us that his hotel is different than the other ones, that their rooms are huge but in fact it's always the same. So as we start to be already fed up of looking we decide to offer ourselves a night in a decent hotel and we will look for a cheaper hotel for tomorrow on the internet.
Our first impression of Hong Kong is not great, we think it's crowded and everything is expensive and dirty.
But at least we find a Sony Centre where we can leave both our camera and video camera for reparation.
