no internet

I got to Hong Kong safely after a crazy 16 hour flight. The seating was more compact then what I had anticipated but good thing I am a twig. When I got off the plane, everything smelled like food. It was definitely weird seeing so many asian people gathered in one spot. It was much different then chinatown. The street signs and and traffic signals are so low, it almost felt like I was a walking giant. The people here wear the weirdest things but I'm pretty sure they had the same view about my sense of fashion. Everything is completely opposite compared to the U.S. When going up the stairs, people here walk on the left side instead of the right. Everyone drives on the left side of the road and the driver sits on the right side of the car. I am staying at my grandma's place in Kwai Fong.

-Thus far, the family and I went to grab some dim sum at a local restaurant.

-Took the train to Tsuen Wan and Sham Shui Po. The subway looks so clean compared to anywhere else I've seen. Their system is similar to the metro card system. You purchase a card and you wave it across the yellow becon by the turnstyle.






crazy fruits they have here

-Went to pay my respects to my grandpa.

-Dinner with aunt in the mountains.


Unfortunately there is no available internet access so I was unable to provide minute-to-minute updates. Right now, I am at the Hong Kong International Airport waiting for my flight to leave to Beijing.
