Hello from Hong Kong!!!!!

Wow. We are so excited, we are buzzing! The flight from Delhi was delayed...and of course they didn't tell anyone. We were supposed to fly at 11:15pm and it was delayed until 1am. At least we got to watch some of the cricket :) We slept on the flight and arrived this morning. Customs was a breeze, my checked bag appeared in good time...ah, civilization :)

Everything here is so clean and new...and in good working order! We got an Octopus card which is like the Oyster card in London - it is good for one trip in from the airport on the fast train (like Heathrow Express) and 3 days of MTR travel (like the Underground). It is so easy to find your way around, too - we found the hotel, no problem. On the metro we watched the characters scroll on the signs and we recognize a lot of them - our Mandarin classes have left and impression in our brains!

Woohoo!!!!! Catch you all later.
