Hong Kong!


All is well in Hong Kong, the buildings are huge and numbering in the thousands, and we have come to realize Chinese food is not what we thought it was. Last night we did some bar hopping at the tips of skyscrapers, a self-guided tour of the highest bars in Hong Kong, $20 drinks were worth the million dollar view. The skyscrapers here strecth as far as the eye can see in every direction and there are many more still under construction. We have to walk through a guantlet of watch and suit salemen outside our hostel every night, but we have learned to pay them zero attention or they will hound you all the way down the street. The food has been very... strange to say the least, where'sthe chow mein? All we can find is fish giblets and beef intestine stew, well we did find some great curry but pretty much everything else has a fishy, or week old fishy taste to it. Alix found a morning Tai Chi class on the Promenade which she has fallen in love with, Sam enjoyed it as well. The airport is still closed in Bangkok, so we are flying to Singapore today, and we will figure out how to make it to Thailand from there (maybe a train up the coast). All is going great, and we are having a blast, we can't believe we're only 4 days into our trip, we've had so many experiences already. Hope everyone is well, Much Love, Sam and Alix. ;)

heya Alix and Sam,

love the blog so far, and will follow your adventures around the planet.
Glad that Thailand has settled down so you can go have a great visit. And remember, you've got Steph and Stuart in Tokyo if you can get there. Have a blast.

love,
