Destination: Hong Kong
We've arrived! After a long but uneventful flight (lots of in-flight movies), we arrived in Hong Kong last night. First impressions are that it is warmer than Alyse expected; the airport is huge and clean; and the buses are much cheaper than the train and drive as fast as taxis despite being double-decker.
The most unexpected thing so far, though, is the hostel - or at least where it is. The directions say "top of Mt. Davis Path." What this actually equates to is 5km of tight, mountain switch-backs that our taxi drive ably dealt with. The road just kept on going and going; every time we thought the hostel must be around the next bend, and it wasn't, we laughed. Check out the fantastic view...

Another surprise was that Alyse and I are not in a dorm room together. Men and women are separated, which is fine, but just unexpected.
The best news is that we've already run into a few very helpful and interesting people. More on that later.
