Our 12-day holiday in Hongkong a fortnight ago was by far the longest we had spent in the former British colony, That an entire hotel in Wan Chai was quarantined for a week did not dampen our spirits nor prevent us from having an enjoyable time. We were privileged to have the opportunity again of staying at the Hotel Mao Mee. This litlle hotel by the sea in Kennedy Town captured our imagination the first time we stayed there (albeit in another closeby locaton). It is a 15 minutes' tram ride from Sheung Wan Station. Perched high up on the 30th floor of The Merton Tower, the guest room overlooks the sea with fishing boats and trawlers criss-crossing the waves throughout the day. Fireworks from Disneyland can be seen lighting up the skyline in the horizon every night at 8 o'clock sharp. Hotel Mao Mee is run by a local Singaporean who works full-time in Hongkong's Dow Jones office. It was started as a hobby and will remain as just a hobby according to the lady owner notwithstanding its growing popularity. Guests are screened and 'by invitation' only. A simple 'thank you' does not do justice for the enjoyable time we had at the Hotel Mao Mee, so we have decided to say it in a few short little verses.
Hotel Mao Mee, We Revisited Again
Few Months On, Much Has Changed
From Humble Start, In Budget Class
To 3-Star Status, Hope It Lasts
Sofa Bed, Once Considered Best
Ikea Bedsets Now, For Complete Rest
Toilet Room, Once Crammy & Tight
Power Trips, You Get A Fright!
New Shower Room, Breezy & Bright
Makes Daily Bath Such Sheer Delight
So Much More One Can Write
We're Saving Them All, Till Next Flight!
...... Thank you, Tracy.
