It's Like Chinatown, but bigger

So...15 hour flight and I made it to Hong Kong.

The flight wasn't bad:

Pros: -lots of movies and TV shows right in the seat-back.
-very good service; gave me a meal voucher when flight was delayed an hour and a half. Delta delays me 4 hours in 30 minute increments so i can't even frickin wander.
- refilled my bottle of water a bunch of times to keep me happy and hydrated.

cons: -15 hour flight
- smelly guy next to me. but i guess after the first hour i identified the smell as some sort of curry and stopped paying attention to it
- realization that as A) a whitey and B) a Jew, I am going to be a crazy minority from here on out.

arriving in hong kong was uneventful thankfully. Because my flight was delayed, sam had time to wait for me at the bus stop. so right when I got off the bus from the airport ($33 HKD) he was there to direct me. I met his roomates, and they seem very nice and fun. we grabbed a beer with a few of his friends before heading off to dinner and see the Hong Kong Skyline at night.

didn't sleep all that great last night but i guess that's to be expected given a 12 hr time difference. i'll prob be discombobulated for a few days. meh, whatever.
