Safe and sound in Hong Kong

I made it to Hong Kong in one piece.

I've spent my afternoon going around the city getting lost. My original plan was to look for a cheap laptop but my sense of direction is completely backwards (I just realized this and now I'm going the opposite of what my gut is telling me and it's working quite nicely!)

The flight was uneventful - it was actually quite peaceful. There were a few babies in the plane, luckily none of them were near me. I dozed in and out of sleep for the 15 hours and got here feeling pretty groggy. As soon as I got on the MTR I got pretty excited and made my way with no problem to my hotel. The hotel I booked is on Hong Kong Island, about a 10 minute walk from Central MTR station and just a minute walk from the next MTR station over. It's tiny but very clean and nice for its size.

As I already said I spent the afternoon getting lost in the city. It's quite warm here (26 degrees and very humid). Everyone's wearing coats and sweaters - which to me seems just absurd (I probably look out of place with my frizzy hair from all the humidity). I'll get used to it I hope.

I'm tired (It's about 6am in Toronto right now) - other than the flight I haven't slept much. I have a feeling tonight will be an early night for me. I'll plan out tomorrow tonight so that it's a little more organized and hopefully I won't get lost as much.

OH! I found this awesome mall that sells just computer gear. It reminds me of grafitti alley Ryan - except with PCs in it instead of... junk. WOW. I was having way too much fun in there... I think I may pick up an Asus EEE PC after all! We'll see what I can talk them down to.

So far I'm REALLY enjoying Hong Kong. It's fantastic! I don't think 4 days will be enough. I'm glad I have another 2 days here at the end of my trip.
