First AONE3 - HKG?
I am planning to take my first AONE3 this summer. Any input on my itinerary?
DFW-HKG-PEK-MEL-SYD-DUB-CDG-LHR-DFW
Also, I am traveling alone. Any security concerns in Hong Kong?
Thanks!

If you want a true adventure, just show up at the ferry port and hop on the next ferry. My friend and I planned to go to the island with the giant Buddah, but ended up on an island with a hiking trail from one end to the other. Got to see a part of HKG that very few foreigners see.
Also, don't forget to hit Stanley Market - good shopping.
Have a great time!

Dinner at Saikung Village (Seefood)
Hot Pot in one of the places in Kowloon City
Afternoon tee in the peninsula or HK Intercontinental
Day trip to Shenzen (train from TST, get visa at the boarder as long as you are not british (impossible to get visa there) or american (visa cost). Buy as many famous products as you can carry, but don't count on them beeing the real thing)

This is only 14 sectors out of 20.
You could add ANC in the US, India, NRT or Bali in Asia, DXB in Europe for many more miles. Do a search on this forum - many discussions about these options.

SYD-FRA-DUB, if you wanted to avoid transit in LHR, but the flight schedule and connections probably aren't as good via FRA.

Safe as houses over here - another on the long list of reasons why I'll never move back to the UK...
Tourist caveats? Hmm...
Avoid the camera/electronics shops in Tsim Sha Tsui - they're a rip-off by and large.
Err...and remember we drive on the wrong side of the road compared to our American cousins, so look right when crossing the road!!!
Enjoy
