another day in hongkong well after that grueling flight and a terrable night of no sleep i woke up this morning around 4 am and just starred at the dark sky waiting and waiting for the sun to rise, finally hours later after being trapped in a bed way to small, def for small peoplel and in a room that feels like i am in prison i crawled to the bathroom for my first shower. well less just say that the shower was just a small hole in the wall where i practically just stood on the toilet to get my head we and let it drip on the rest of my body, yeah it was no fun i promise. at 6:30 i woke eric and waited on him to get dressed so we could get out of this madness. first step out the door on the streets on hongkong and the smell hits u, death in the air. wondered around for a bit and found a mcdonalds, well chinese style anyway had to get something in the stomach.

after breakfast exchange some loot and made our way to the ferry on kowloon side of hongkong where we are staying. took the ferry to hongkong island and the sky scrapers seem to reach the heavens, from here we walked passed many buildings, crowded sidewalks and dodging buses and taxis to another port. buying our tickets we escaped to an outer island which was so different than the city. small market places and lots of chinese people, no cars only bikes, lots of bikes, many of the chinese used training wheels and i got a good laugh about that. wondering around we found a temple with all the insense burning outside, took a few photos and kept moving thru narrow streets all with construction work going on, men with round hats and scarfs over there faces in the hot, hot air, and the sticky humid air didnt help something like wb. over more random streets to the back of the island to the beach, well,. more like a trash dumb made into a beach no lie, was so sick i couldnt take it, just kept moving. hot as ever snackin on bananas we slowly made our way back to the ferry, thru the city, acoss the bay and back to kowloon.

a nice lunch at an irish pub and then i passed out for 2 hours while eric bought another new camera, my plan tomorrow. i awoke to him telling me we had to go, we were meeting his dads friend ben, the china men. now he hooked it up no doubt. took us up to the peak, u peeps need to google this, hongkong peek and we got some sick pics. i bought another painting just like the one i bought in venezuela but of hongkong, was happy about that no doubt plan to ship it back to the states tomorrow i hope.
after this we took us to this expensive dinner, me rockin cargo camo shorts and a tee and everyone else decked out in there suits was funny and a site to see. for dinner we told him to order our food. well lets just say it was an experience. first duck eggs, they were black with goo inside them, forced them down and watched as eric gags and almost throws up across the table. next snake soup and for my entree duck with somekinda slimy fish, i ate it and really it was bad, just another experience that was unique and quite fun. so here i am back n this deathly building, forgot to tell ya, chinese men ben, well he booked us for 2 nights in the holiday inn down the road until we leave, for free. this place is 5 star from where we are and much different than ours back n the states.  ¶ 11:58 AM
