HK 2008

First full day in the Chinese jungle

so we’re basically war-walking seeing if we can find a free wifi and happens to find one. Today we had what Franny claims as his favorite snack in HK as the pineapple bun with. Butter! I have to admit it was pretty damn good. Alsowaz cheap, for 2 and 2 Lai cha (milk tea) it was 33 HKD which is about 5 bucks. Anyways, it’s getting hotter, and I can feel the sweat coming, but I also constantly feel the stomach telling me to keep eating more. Had some good hand made noodles last night win Nathan (Jenn’s faux cousin). We walked around ladies market which was interesting, I can see how it can be overwhelming for some, and bartering is sometimes not even required cause things are so cheap already.

Anyways gotta continue the trek to the other island!

Not in HK yet!?!

Not in HK you say? Apparently they couldn’t close the door on the plane or something, but I guess it’s better than flying and door falling off. Oh well…we have free acccomodations at the Radisson in Narita Tokyo. Also, too bad that it’s not in the core of downtown Tokyo or we would have walked around more and I would have a lot more to say. Anyhow, I think I’m in the Mississauga of Tokyo, drab and boring. Also got a free dinner @ the hotel, but no SUSHI!! ugh! Maybe I’ll get some for breakfast in the airport…hopefully

Another day, another asian city.

So I’ve got the bright idea that it would be best to stay up all night and hopefully I can change my bio-schedule to HK time by doing so. Jenn already is falling asleep, so I don’t know how long I can last for now *yawn* *yawn*. I think I need some sort of substinance to keep going, but luckily I’ve got many movies/tv shows to keep me busy. Thanks to the greatness of cable TV [which most people should know that we lack this at our place], Robin Hood: Men in Tights is on which is also helping me get through the night.

Staying up late reminds me of my UW days as well as the “Green Zones” at work now. I’m confident that I can change my sleep schedule to HK time, although there is a lack of faith from Jenn, but I will try and show her…I’m not the one that fell asleep FIRST! I am also confident that we packed everything that we need and that each luggage is less than 50kg [crossing my fingers]

Let the journey begin [in 7 hours when we board our plane]
