Hong Kong

I wasn't planning on starting my own blog, but here I am, 3:30am in Hong Kong and I've got insomnia as it's 3:30pm back home. This is my year away from reality, or so it seems, and I want to keep a written memory of my adventures. I was a bit concerned about my long flight to HK; fifteen and a half hours in economy sounded rather insane. What about my blood circulation, and what about all that radiation? (That's right, if you dig, airlines actually disclose and warn that you will be exposed to radiation during a flight that could cause harm). Anyway, life is short, live every day as if it where you last - that's what they say. But before this turns into something that Martin would write, I'm proud to report that Cathay Pacific has mastered the art of flying. My own screen with video on demand and video games made all the difference. Great food complemented the entertainment quite nicely. Three movies later I was almost half way into my flight. Between the digital entertainment and my new read - 100 years of solitude, I was well entertained during my own fifteen and a half hours of solitude. The time flew by, and I did not feel alone.

My host in HK is admirable. Kelvin picked me up from the airport and gave me the keys to his girlfriend's apartment. Now, my accomodation does not include his girlfriend, but it's my own apartment in the center of the city. Regardless, the only girl that's welcome in my flat is Britt.

I just came back from a night on the town, the potentially famous Lan Kwai Fong district. A great scene.


















Looking forward to proper sightseeing tomorrow.
