So, I just got into my hostel in Hong Kong, I haven't slept for 30 hours straight but waited an hour just to use the computer to contact my parents so they wouldn't send Interpol out after me and I am going to use this computer time for good. Anyway, to begin I flew 4 hours to Newark from Dallas and 16 hours from Newark to Hong Kong.
The flight actually wasn't terrible, unlike any other international flight I had been on, it gave you a selection of what shows and movies you wanted to watch and you could pause/rewind. So, I never even brought out my iPod and instead indulged on Fargo, Annie Hall, Citizen Kane, Dr. Strangelove, Dial M For Murder, North By Northwest, The Usual Suspects, Mad Men, 30 Rock and Law & Order.
I also thought I spotted a bottle of water with the label Moland Springs and even got into a conversation with the lady sitting next to me about my second button being too low.
Otherwise, this trip has so far been uneventful and getting to the hostel was easy enough. I wish I could post pictures from this computer, though, because this place is amazing. I look down from the 7th floor I am on and can see about 4 stray cats going through the dark alley. Clothing is strung up all across the open area and stretches all the way to the top floor. It's pretty amazing.
I leave tomorrow morning for Guangzhou and then take the overnight train to Guilin, so once I get to Shuai's home in Guilin I will post again.
