Made it bustling Hong Kong last night, just in time for the China Day fireworks spectacular.

Here is a picture I didn’t take. But I did edit using the pretty cool free online version of photoshop. This is exactly what where I am staying looks like. Not sure how much I love the energy of Tsim Sha Tsui and I may find a different spot after tonight – although I think budget options in the city are somewhat limited.

It is rather hot and muggy here but doesn’t smell all that unpleasant. A surprising amount of greenery in the city and some of those cool bamboo scaffolds covering buildings under repair.

That’s about all I got to report from my first few hours in the SAR. Oh, how about this. The Keyboard, tho covered in chinese, is identical to US keyboards. Usually at least a few keys are reversed on foreign keyboards. Even the shift+number keys are the same!@#$%^&*()
