Arrived in Hong Kong.

Up at 5am today.

We arrived in Hong Kong yesterday afternoon and it is a welcome break. Disturbingly, it took us 7 hours to go 80 miles to get here. We should have taken the boat as all the time sitting at the airport, immigration, the train from the airport to Kowloon, it all ads up. Oh well, something to know for next time.

The hotel is way nicer. This is the view from my hotel room:



Glad I brought my suit. Big room, great service, all the stuff you'd expect for a big-money per night, right? No. This place costs the same as the Guangzhou dump.

Clive asked me yesterday, "Have you been paying attention to the news?" I realized I had no idea what was going on. I responded, "It could all be gone for all we know", and it's the truth. We both haven't a clue. I'm spending sometime this morning reading online and hitting a few podcasts. Dow down 300+ points, eigh. Sounds like when I left.

Weather today in Hong Kong: high: 86 F, low: 77 F, scattered clouds.
