DAY 11 [ Shanghai > Hong Kong ] : Young Man! There's No Need To be Down...
Wake up and late still a bit tossed from the night before. We pack fast, have a quick bite with Auntie Wendy and her Mahjong buddies at the house and catch a cab to the airport. I'm certaily going to miss her coffee. It's the best in Asia so far.
Some airport delays kept on on the tarmack about an hour before we left to Hong Kong. I hate just sitting without going anyplace. I tend to get a bit squirmy.
After a couple hours, we arrived at our trusted travel hub, Hong Kong Internaional Airport. Finally, this time, we are staying for a couple days. We step off the plane and right to the desk where we need to be to catch our hour bus ride to the recommended YMCA. I was told it was fairly priced and right in the heart of Hong Kong in lower Kowloon.
It's dark when we check in, rest for a bit an and go out for a walk to try to find a place to get a drink. The temperature is well over 90º F at night with over 80% humidity. The heat is actually quite silly.
Around Hong Kong you can see so many traces of the English. From Soccer to very moden double decker busses to a place called Victorias Peak. All traces of the United Kindoms expanse into South East Asia.
After a long walk up the center of town we head back soaked in sweat instead of rain. I don't think this is any better though.
