I'm at a loss of mental thoughts. I'm packed ready to go to the airport, leaving in exactly 1 hour. Next stop Beijing. I've been up since 10:45pm last night, current time 8:29am May 1st. Jetlag is taking over for sure. Yesterday I spent the whole day sightseeing. I find the bamboo scaffolding quite amazing! The whole entire Panasonic building was covered in it!
Bamboo scaffolding- Hong Kong
From a distance it looks like a bunch of toothpicks that could come tumbling down at any second. That was near the end of my day.
In the beginning I took a bus to Victoria's Peak. A trolley takes you up the mountain. It was a bit overcast but still beautiful. I walked around for a while, trying not to rush the experience. It was equally mixed with locals and tourist.
she takes multiple pictures and he posses until she was happy!

The most fascinating is the structures and structures that guard entrances.
Although many things are in English, there are still things that I wish I could read to understand the history.
So I left there and went to Aberdeen Fish Market, the biggest & longest whole fish market in HK. This was my favorite of the day. Back on the water, I took the little boat ride around the water. No pictures of the driver, they feel it takes their soul. I had a friend like that, now I know where she stole that from. She was well traveled. This was an absolute picture of the rich and very poor. Boats were scattered everywhere. Many house boats which looked in shambles but very nice boats attached.

My favorite is the women standing in her boat. Waiting to catch fish I think.
When I arrived here it really sank in that I was in a different place.
Amazing seafood!
I then went to Stanley's Market Place. Bad move on my part. I don't like this stuff.
It reminds me of garage sales on Sundays after church with our parents. When all we wanted was to go ride bikes! Anyway, I saw a little white girl sitting outside the restaurant begging. It was amusing to me, everyone just passing by, paying no attention. I did the same, I was a little annoyed to be honest. I wanted to pick her up and tell her to stop. Shame on her parents. I bought an apple and walnuts from the little market and took off back in the direction of my hotel.
I jumped off the bus when we were in the vicinity where I could walk. I already stand out so I listened to directions in my ear to pay attention. People have no structure. Everyone just walking everywhere. This man was going through everyone like a little shark. He had his hands together, fingers pointing forward cutting through the people . Couple time I passed people while stepping onto the street but I was a little nervous I might get hit, I was cautious. I witnessed a truck scrap by a range, literally scrap its rear lights out. He was frustrated. Cant even get mad...a place like this its bound to happen.
I finally reached my hotel. I put my phone on the charger, got ready to workout. I then woke up FUCK its 10:30pm. I fell asleep at 5:30pm..jetlag. Well I worked out, showered ate ar 6:30am, workout again and left for the airport. I visited the AmEx lounge here ... boarding now. Hopefully I can be more interesting soon. Oh I did jump on couchsurfing to see what travelers I can connect with possibly. My birthday is tomorrow 37..yes mammmmmmm
McDonalds..yuck
