Sweat.

Hong Kong is a humid place.

We're staying at the YMCA in HK and its a pretty cool place. We found the game room, complete with multiple ping pong tables, and even 60 yr old men are awesome.

The downtown skyline is unbelievable. We rode the public transit system to the tip of Kowloon and then took the ferry across to HK island. It was so nice and clean, but it should be since spitting is a 5,000 dollar fine.

The banks of Hong Kong make the currency instead of a government mint, so the bills have the banks on them. Some say HK is the most capitalist place in the world.

Mom, my first food purchase was some apples from a grocery store. Fuji, to be exact.

I'm in a KFC down the street to get the internet. They have iced red bean drinks. They are not good.

The scenery is really unbelievable. The mountains seem to jut straight out of the ocean, accompanied by high rise apartments and buildings.
