I don’t remember the last entry I made but I think it was yesterday morning. I guess, if I wasn’t so lazy I could go look, no it doesn’t really matter. Anyway it’s been at least a day since my last entry and I don’t really have much to talk about. I decided yesterday to head to the far side of the harbor to maybe take a tour, but that fell kind of flat. I ended up back in my hotel at about 9 and watched movies until about 2 in the morning…
The idea was to get the day photos of the buildings that I saw during the evening the night before. Good plan. Afterwards I would cross over and take photos on the other side, maybe go up the tram to get some photos from point overlooking the city. I also decided that it was too hot and humid for me to walk like I usually do so I had planned on taking one of the double-decker bus tours around the city. Unfortunately the one that I wanted was extremely expensive to me, and I took a tour with one of their competitors. The price on the side of the bus said, $50 so I had my money ready as I boarded, the driver told me that he didn’t have change and waved me to move on. I went to the top deck wondering what just happened, but kind of feeling like I just scored “the golden ring.” The total tour took about 20 minutes as it went 10 minutes into the city and 10 minutes back to the boat terminal. What a waste of money… umm, wait.
There was a though that I’d just pay the money and go with the other bus tour but at the last minute I decided to go back to the hotel. It was about a two-hour walk back and with the heat I was starting to get tired and a little bit irritable. Have I mentioned that there are a lot of people in Hong Kong? I mean seriously, there are more people here than I think I’ve seen in any other place, even more than in Beijing. There are so many people walking around that I figure for every ten steps I take going forward, I take ten steps trying to avoid or get around someone else.
