It's 2 a.m. in Hong Kong and I'm wide awake. We leave the hotel in a little more than eight hours. My room on the 28th floor of a hotel next to the convention center has a great view of Victoria Harbour across to the Kowloon Side. Earlier in the night the city was brightly lit, including probing green laser beam, but at this hour it's pretty dark, more like any other large city.
Haven't eaten since lunch, may walk around and see if anyplace is open at this hour. Lunch was at a Japanese style Chinese noodle place called Ajisen in Wanchai. Interesting mix of Chinese noodles, ramen, and some traditional Japanese food such as tonkatsu. The seafood noodle soup was outstanding. If you like to eat, Hong Kong is a great place with many excellent restaurants.
In November we had an amazing thanksgiving seafood dinner in Sai Kung. My wife Pam was on this trip, we went kayaking With Paul Etherington at www.kayak-and-hike.com great trip. We paddled out to an island where we hiked up a hill for a nice view. The photo is of Paul showing us tourists how to paddle.
Should be a good night for walking in Hong Kong, it's not as hot as last week. Last week we flew to Singapore where it was extremely hot and muggy, beautiful city but didn't walk around too much.
Should be a quick trip home to Boulder City, Nevada, via LAX and LAS, as the jet stream is across the middle of the North Pacific. We had to fly over Alaska, Russia, and China to avoid it on the way out yesterday.
Next week Japan.
