Hong Kong in 10 hours

In my scurry to get my ticket to Sydney booked, making it a REAL adventure, instead of a mere plan, I failed to notice the 12 hour stop over in Hong Kong...

After a quick bout of communications I discovered my friend, who lives in Hong Kong, has a girlfriend who not only speaks the language, but is so much fun. SCORE! She showed me around the wondrous space... (it's large!) while I shivered in my feeble jeans and slip slops! (Russian ICE bar -sans vodka- included).

Crystal Jade, in the IFC2 building is a definite must try. Super quick service and such lovely food... Only problem is that you can't book and it's quite popular, so you have to get there early to get a number and wait to be called.

What seemed a daunting 'waiting around' period of time turned into such a whirlwind adventure that by the time I boarded my next plane I was delightfully exhausted and ready for an 8 hour sleep. (Didn't happen, was over tired and beyond ready to see my parents.)

And now... here I am... SYDNEY!
