Wow China and Hong Kong was a blast. But first randomness
and now hello all im back form China and Hong Kong, it was a blast!!!! I left Thailand last last friday the 10th. flew into Hong Kong spent 2 days there, flew to ShenJen 2 days there and then flew out to Xian the site of the Terra-Cotta Worriros and the site of Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi Tomb. so let me start with Hong Kong. Flew into the new airport they have there that is built on the islands that they made. got picked up and some relatives and went to have dinner at my aunts place. and a bunch of other relitives came by. and they all started talking up a storm in chinesse, which i dont understand, till 12 in the morning. but they all could speak english. then they took us to the hotel we were staying @ it was a nice nice hotel id say @ least 3 stars but OMG the rooms r SO SMALL they r about the size of the big bathroom @ MAST, that the bedroom and the restroom. the hallway in the room is so small that Sam and Sandyha cant walk past each other. the closet is 2 feet long and 3 inches deep, its an acrobatic feat to get anything in or out of there. all the buildings there r so tall, they have to the land mass is so small ever thing goes up. We ate ALOT. then we took a bus to ShenJen a City in China there ment more relatives NONE SPOKE ENGLISH. Stayed there a few days before a tour of Xian. the food was awful it was so blan and our tour guide was annoying as hell. he knew numbers,"the city is this big..this many people...this old" and he wouldnt let us do what we wanted. u cant do this or that its not safe, hell thailand has the same street markets as china we can handle our selves. and when ever we wanted to look around realy look @ thing it "no we must go no time, we olny have xxx mins here" but when ever there was shopping to be done and part of the tour package which we didnt want to do we stayed for hours on ends.
