I've got the rest of the pictures from Hong Kong up (at least the ones I'm gonna show you jerks). So check 'em out when you get a chance.

Cheung Chau Island

the leftovers

pay special attention to the uber-mullet.

Hope you enjoy them.

Peace!

I've got a number of my Hong Kong pictures up. Give 'em a look. Sadly because I'm on my parents' computer at the moment and because I'm impatient, I didn't get around to resizing any of them so peruse at your own risk. It might take forever to load them.

For starters we've got

The Hong Kong Skyline

The Peak

The Avenue of Stars

So my week in Heaven...er...Hong Kong...is over already and I'm more than a little sad. I'm sad to be leaving Asia in general and to be putting an end to the most adventurous period of my life so far. I'm sad to be leaving Hong Kong because I do not believe I ever truly loved a place until now. Even Toronto's got some pretty tough competition for ( Read more... )

Today was, like every other day here, great. The weather gets warmer each day I'm here. It was about 68 when I arrived on Friday. Now it's up in the high 70s. You're out of luck, Centigrade people. I haven't the slightest idea what that converts to in your silly (or "practical"...whatever) measuring system. The air even cleared up a bit for most of ( Read more... )

Since I've got free internet access in my hostel for the first time ever I'm gonna keep the updates rollin'. So like it.

Today I really lived by my life's philosophy: always do. I'm exhausted. I must've walked a bajillion miles today (give or take a gazillion). So here are the highlights:

• Breakfast at McDonald's. Stupid highlight? I think not. ( Read more... )

The short version: My new favourite city. No question.

The long version:

This part isn't really about Hong Kong so much as getting here.

I'm down to my last hours in the PRC. I'd say it's an appropriate time to reflect on the last seven months. So here goes: my lists of stuff I will/won't miss about China (and when I get back to the United States of Freedom I'll post what I really think about this place but can't say while I'm here).

Stuff I'll miss about China

1. The DVDs
2. Eating well ( Read more... )

I'm finished packing. First time in my life I've packed in advance. Actually it's the first time in my life I've done anything in advance. I'm not sure I like this. I hope it doesn't become a habit.

So now that I'm all packed I'm bored to tears. I thought about watching a DVD but then I realized I packed all of them up along with my computer. I ( Read more... )

I'll be 100% certain tomorrow and I probably won't have time to post then so here goes.

!!!I'M GOING TO HONG
KONG!!!

Yep. I'm going. Let's talk about that for a while, shall we?

Since I made the decision to leave China I haven't felt the slightest bit of regret. I'm gonna miss it and I know I'm gonna miss out on awesome travel opportunities but I ( Read more... )

This is great. Quitting is the greatest human invention. I've always thought so. I don't go to class anymore because I don't have to! I already told my teachers I'm outta here and they were like "A'ight. That's cool." I've packed most of my stuff too so now alls I gotta do is watch my movies until the appointed date of departure which...actually... ( Read more... )
