Proud!

I'm gonna be honest here for a second... I'm pretty proud of myself! I successfully navigated the 1st and 2nd largest airports in the world (by myself), managed to be invited to stay (for free) with some univ. students in a guest house in Hong Kong, rode a high speed train, took an adorable Hong Kong taxi, saw one of the most beautiful night scenes I've ever seen, ate at a mexican restaurant (finally!!!), stayed awake to see the city until 4:30am and woke up at 6 to make it to the airport where I caught my plane and slept the entire way! Can you blame me?! I'd call that a pretty succesfull past 16 hours!

My flight from Bangkok to Phuket will be leaving in 1 hour an 15 minutes. From there I'm going to have to figure out how to find a bus to get to Krabi (approx 2 hours), then a taxi to one of the ports, and then a speed boat that will take me to Tonsai Beach, where i will be meeting jess, carlos, kristen, maria, and jess's brother. I''m not gonna lie, I'm terrified! but, Ive gotta put my brave face on and just do it!!!

until next time....

I made it to Hong Kong!!

I made it to Hong Kong, and made new friends along the way. I met 5 Korean university students on my plane who are traveling to Singapore for a class project. They also have a layover tonight in Hong Kong and invited me to stay with them at the guesthouse they had booked in the city so I wouldn't have to sleep in the airport! We're here now and it's awesome! Hong Kong reminds me a lot of Korea and Japan, just a little more sketchy! We're gonna be getting up bright and early in the morning to catch a taxi and then take the high speed train back to the airport for our morning flights, so that's all for now!
