Hong Kong, the antithesis of Africa

Well, flew into Hong Kong today, my least favourite place for weather in the whole world! It's either ridiculously hot and humid - or pouring with rain - or, as has often been the case, both at the same time!

It was an amazing feeling to be surrounded by Asians again once I got off the place. Whoa. I guess, going to Sydney and then San Francisco, I'd better get used to it! =)

It was also an unfamiliar feeling to be surrounded by everything working ... escalators working, no holes in the roads, trains that come every 3 minutes, posters at the train station that encourage me to "relax, my train will only be 3 minutes" (only in Asia!)

It was also strange to be absolutely crammed again. Here's the view from my window ... it absolutely reminds me of Sao Paulo, Brazil, all over again!



Also - note that I will be BACK very soon - on the morning of the 24th June, in fact (assuming no disasters/delays take place inbetween now and then)! Wow, that sure is soon ...
