I Went Back To Hong Kong’s $25 “Jail Cell” Hotel To Redo A 20-Year Travel Failure

With a short night in Hong Kong, I closed the chapter on a travel mistake I made nearly 20 years ago.

Back in September 2008, I was a young student and on my first round-the-word trip, which included flying Aeroflot from Moscow to Hong Kong. I did not have a lot of disposable income at the time and to save money, stayed at very cheap “inn” in Hong Kong in Kowloon. It was in a building called the “Chunking Mansions” which housed dozens of these sorts of cheap hostel-like places for budget-conscious travelers to stay in.

I took this picture of the outside and a couple pictures inside:

A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
