Hong Kong - Blogabond

Our tiny (but clean, with SUPER friendly staff) room at our hostel

We made it to Hong Kong! Yay! And now we're about to leave for Bangkok! Double yay!!

Sorry I haven't written sooner, but the last couple of days have kind-of been a bit of a blur. Our flight was a bit of a mess, but then I've come to accept that they usually are, really, and that's just a part of the whole traveling experience. Anyway, if I may offer a tip, don't book a flight with a one-hour international layover against your better judgment just because Orbitz says it's okay.

But, we made it here! Hong Kong has been good, and we stayed at a wonderful guesthouse run by a sweet Indian family in a 17-story block of hostels, shops and cheap

An Irish pub, complete with token red-haired guy

food stalls ironically named Chungking Mansions. We arrived very late Wednesday night and slept most of the day Thursday, then set out yesterday (Friday) to see the city.

Lots of crazy fruit

I have to run right now as I'm borrowing the guesthouse's computer to write this, but I promise I (or Michael) will write again as soon as possible after we get to Bangkok to post pictures and write more about Hong Kong.
