day 7 - from tokyo to hong kong

although our five hour plane ride from tokyo to hong kong was quite bumpy, we still landed safely. my initial reaction with hong kong was the drastic weather difference from tokyo. we were welcomed with a very hot humid weather (76 degree F) and a terribly polluted air flow. through the window of our taxi ride to our hotel, we mistakenly assumed the smeared dense air was fog. we were terribly mistakened, it was just air pollution caused by the over populated chinese territory (6.9million people). the people of hong kong are clueless of etiquette and are not very hygenic. nose picking in public is a common habit for many locals. the main roads are confettied with trash and cigarette butts and some of the side roads reaked of sewer smell. i miss tokyo.

















checked in at narita. i told the airport receptionist i was from hawaii and she was kawaii. she blushed n said arigato.

















cream filled mochi. no where near as tasty as the ones from shinjuku

















airplane food tasting worst than dollar tv dinners these days





















touched down in hong kong

















hong kong airport. filled with different ethnic backgrounds

















hong kong is the worlds most densely populated area

















way more people in hk than tokyo

















even run down condos in hk are pricey

















if you look real close. look reaaaaaalll close. you'll notice that no girls in hk are attractive!

















as the day spins into night, the bright neon lights brighten the streets

















street vendors are very common in hk. they're usually located on corners with lots of pedestrian traffic

















theres just people everywhere. the cars, the smog, the bad breath...

















we're still looking for green tea kit kat

















space is limited in hk. grocery stores result in narrowing their aisles to fit more products

















general products in hk are 2-3 times less costly than japan

















try to find an empty seat on the hk mtr. its like finding waldo

















the red light district in wan chai covers up to two blocks

















the girls working in the red light district are usually from the philipines and thailand. watch out for those lady boys cuz they really are here

















the hong kong government makes it REAL clear that smoking causes cancer

















the turkish restaurant in hk is also 3 times less expensive than the one in tokyo

















our night ended with these delicous turkish wraps at the cost of only $5.00us
