I am in Hong Kong!

The weather is hot and humid here. It's like walking around in cream soup all day. But the locals here are wearing extra shirts, jackets, and even smoking! It's weird since it is Third World hot here!
So I've settled into my dorm now but not without some bumps along the way. Internet wouldn't work, cell phone wouldn't work, air con wouldn't work, I got stuck in the wrong dorm, and I still have to go back to the International Students Office to curse them out. But aside from that stuff things are getting great!




This is my residence and my room. It's quite sparse but at least it isn't as bad as some other peoples' rooms. In fact I guess mine isn't too bad. The view is great though.





Last night my old friend Eve and her boyfriend took me out to see Tsim Sha Tsui. Its a popular part of Kowloon where people gather. It's also the site of the infamous Chung King Mansion that was in Wong Kar Wai's "Chungking Express" movie. (Your right Robin. It was a sleazy mega dive that reminds me now of a sort of brothel with restaurants). Well last night was great and I saw "Old Skool" Hong Kong: Temple Street and Nathan Road.





I can't put my finger on it, but something is different now. I am starting to feel something warm about HK. I still don't understand it, or the people, but as every city has a unique flavour, I am getting addicted to this one.
