Advantages: Vital, culturally diverse city with a proud and unique heritage Disadvantages: Growing a bit too fast for its scarce resouces
...and visitors alike may choose golf, mountain climbing, horseback riding, hunting, or mountain biking--not to mention such spectator sports as minor league baseball, horse racing at Albuquerque Downs, or Lobo basketball at the University of New Mexico. The world's longest jigback tramway can transport you to the ski runs in the Sandia Mountains above the city. After peaking at almost 1,000 balloons and crews a few years back, the annual International Balloon Fiesta in October is now limited to a mere 750--and participants do come from around the world.
Albuquerque has a number of fine museums. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, for example, introduces visitors to the history and culture of the Pueblo peoples through native crafts, dance, lectures and presentations, and educational exhibits. The National Atomic Museum, located at Kirkland Air...

Advantages: Very convenient for the airport, New, Stylish, Comfortable Disadvantages: The breakfast could have been better

It exudes the old-style of money and class and has its own helicopter stand on the top of the building so you can travel in style from the airport (which, incidentlally, is miles from Kowloon and even further from HKI). The Intercontinental has wonderful harbour views of HKI (worth visiting just to see the night-time views) and the Intercontinental is another high-class hotel if you prefer something smaller but elegant.
I hope this has given you some idea of what Kowloon is like. I visited each...

I grew up in and around the area of Sutton Coldfield and had always wanted to stop at this hotel so when I saw a bargain on the internet of £50 for the room I jumped at the chance and promptly booked me and my partner in for a night. We were in the... more
