my arrival in HK

so ive finally arrived in HK! my auntie doesnt have a pc nor net at home! NOOOOO! im at a pc bar at the moment and everything is in chinese, darn chinese windows :P but i think ill get by ok..for now

the day started at 9am where sis drive us to the airport. The trip was an 8hr trip but to our suprise we were filled with the goodness of mini tv screens, movies,tv shows and music! Very cool! so many movies were on offer, only got to finish watching half of Rocky Balboa. My brother was watching Kenny. I watched 2 episodes of top gear and watched a lil bit of 10 Canoes. The trip didnt feel that long at all only coz we had the good Qantas in flight entertainment.

And to make the trip a tad odd most of the passengers on our flight were of anglo aussie background..but i can understand that the holiday season is over for most chinese and having to go back to work. We were actually the minority of the passengers! :P

Got to HK and the first things i noticed something of HK are the cars! Yes im a bit of a car lover and the first thing that catches my eye are the modifications of vans especially. Light body kits and alloy wheels.

I think the HKness has finally sinked in with all the convenience and consumerism..i tried to read the bible on the trip here but it was pretty tough sinking it all in. Still within Genesis..long way to go but ill get there :)

Anyways..unfortunately will be having a lot of trouble backing up my blogs with my daily snaps so they'll come very late. Another cool thing i noticed with HK was that while we were heading for dinner i saw a student swipe his card on this machine that apparently redeemed him $2 credit. I asked my auntie "what was that!?" She told me that people can swipe this machine and they're granted $2 credit on their travel cards, apparently to entice them to catch the trains more. Pretty cool idea huh!?

Anyways, i think thats it for now
