wow! what a different world this is...for once in my life, i'm the minority. and i think everyone should experience that at least once. then maybe the world wouldn't be such a cruel place after all. so after traveling in the air and waiting for planes over 24 hours, coming to hong kong and seeing the shithole i would be staying in was a interesting experience. haha i'm so spoiled so i don't normally get a hostel room to share with 4 other people. it hasn't been too bad, though. until this morning when i wake up to three people packing and crumpling their plastic bags over and over again! i must say that the bathrooms in this place are pretty interesting...i thought i had the great idea of inventing a shower with the toilet in it, but noooo they beat me to it. i reckon, you can kill two birds with one stone. and man i've never gotten up so early in my life. and by 9 pm i can hardly keep my eyes open. but i know we haven't seen nothing yet. hong kong is like new york. lights everywhere. big buildings. everything's in english. and everyone wants to sell you something, especially if you're caucasian. and of course i stick out like a sore thumb. but the food is awesome. haven't broke down and bought mcdonalds yet. although, the mcdonald's here looks pretty nice. mel and i have walked everywhere. and it's just amazing. i'm so grateful to be apart of this and i wish all of you could share it with us....stay tuned!

You motha fucka!! Courtney, I miss you so much and reading your entry made me laugh and smile and be sad. I wish I could be there with you guys too, it sounds amazing and must be almost surreal. I'm so glad to hear from you and I will be sure to pass along this site for all your peeps to check out and stay up on you and Mel. Hey just out of curiousity, where do you think you will be in February and March- Celeste and I want to take a trip together and I don't know if it would even be do-able or worth such a long flight for just a week, but let me know and maybe we could hook up with you. Stay in touch girl and give Mel a hug for me. Are you being nice and getting along alright? I know how you can be. Hehe! Not a lot new here, but I'll write you more later in an email. LOVE YOU!!
