Hong Kong, Day 1

[cryowizard]

Sixteen hours in the air go by pretty fast when you're in a business class seat. Cathay Pacific does it right, I have to say. Great service, food, entertainment. Comfortable flat bed has its uses for my 190cm, although it it designed mostly for people who sleep on their back, one of whom I am not. Regardless of the bed's comfort however, I didn't sleep a wink which, coupled with the fact that I slept about 3 hours the night before I left, had me going on my 50th or so hour without sleep by the time I finally went under in my hotel room in Wan Chai. And of course I am up at 6am today.

Hong Kong greeted me with on-and-off all day torrential downpours, and there seems to be no letting off on that any time soon -- weather forecast has showers and thunderstorms all the way through next Friday when I leave for Tokyo. This puts a royal dent into my photography. I hope this mess will sort itself out next week -- I will still have three days left in Hong Kong after I come back from Tokyo, including a Saturday...

Last night stopped by for a quick bite at what can only be described as a local McDonalds for sushi lovers -- a ubiquitous joint called Genki Sushi. Sushi prices are about the same here as they are in NYC -- about $18 USD gets you a decent variety. Fun part is that Genki has a sushi conveyor that runs around the entire joint. Took a video of that -- will upload when I get a chance.

Off looking for breakfast.
