Arrival In Hong Kong
We have arrived in Hong Kong. We got in very late, but I had a reservation at a nice hotel, so we got a good night's sleep and a shower in the morning. We had literally lost December 5. We boarded our plane at 8 am on the 4th, and we got on our bus to the hotel just after midnight on the 6th. The day just disappeared.
We will spend the day exploring Hong Kong, and a good part of tomorrow. We will try to catch a night train or bus to Guilin tomorrow evening, from Shenzhen, China. It is a little difficult because we have to cross the border into China to get tickets. Today will be fun, though.
From first impressions of Hong Kong, it is a very busy city. The streets are bustling with trucks, buses, cars, and loads of people. Fortunately, there is a fair amount of English around, so it's not hard to navigate. China will be more difficult.
Tonight we stay in the famous Mirador Mansion. It is a huge complex of hostels, guesthouses, and other business. The hostels range from dodgy to scary. I booked one in the dodgy range. We will be in Hong Kong on a Saturday night, which is very exciting. It is a city known for it's night life.
We just arrived, so I don't have much to comment on, but it's looking to be a fun two weeks.
Until next time, be safe.
