Good Morning Gooners.
Hong Kong! The Pearl of the Orient
(although I think some people refer to Shanghai as the 'New Pearl', so I'm not sure how current that nickname is).
After spending more than 2 months in Australia and New Zealand, I
landed in Hong Kong last Tuesday to start the final leg of my
round-the-world adventure. The city would be the first of many and the sights, sounds and smells of Singapore,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam await.

Fog. Not smog |
On arrival into Chep Lap Kok I was
greeted by Kevin Ng and Matt Haha (yes, haha!) from the Arsenal Hong
Kong Supporters Club. They were very happy to see their guest and had
arranged a packed itinerary for my stay, including a visit to the Big
Buddha, Tai O Fishing Village, Victoria Peak and a hundred different
restaurants and food stalls.

Arsenal Soccer School in Hong Kong |
I was staying with Adam Ng, a local
Gooner who lives in a small town (by Asian standards) called Sheung
Shui, right next to the Chinese border. It meant that I could get a
feel for the real Hong
Kong, as I was staying in a quite typical residence where you could
barely swing a bag of cats. Being away from the pandemonium of
central Hong Kong and Kowloon, it also meant it was significantly
quieter, and there were absolutely no tourists, aside of course from
the Chinese ones, popping across the border to bulk-buy infant milk
and other essentials that they can't safely obtain back home.
I
had the chance to visit one of the Arsenal soccer schools in Hong
Kong. This football school is open to students from 3 years to 12
years old. I met the Technical Director, Alan Lam (also a sports commentator), and he told me
about the exercises and their plans for the future. The school has only
be running for a few years, but it obviously gained traction quickly.
They are now looking at starting classes for kids aged TWO, and
already have about twelve signed up. The school's weekly sessions run year
round, without a break, and there are four separate locations in Hong Kong alone.
Hong Kong Gooners |
So,
game time came around and it was an important one. The local Hong
Kong Gooners had arranged a viewing party at one of the Jockey Clubs
(the term 'Jockey Club' means 'Betting Shop' out there) and there
were around 100 people in attendance to watch a complete car-crash of
a performance against Liverpool. I'm not going to comment on the
performance because everybody and their dog has already had their two
cents, some justified, some just plain daft. All we know is, as of
right now, if we win against United we go back to the top of the
league. Let's hope that a blip is just that, a blip.
