Ah, I am home. Actually, I have been home for 6 days now. But since RSLP Properties continue to be the worst landlord/company I have ever dealt with, I had to wait until I got to the library to actually have internet access to update the blog (more on that later).
So my last 3 days in China/Hong Kong was pretty busy, but very enjoyable. Thursday night we took a flight to Shenzhen. All day Friday we visited a supplier, and Friday night, Erich and I ventured on our own to Hong Kong. It was quite an experience for this small town boy. We had to catch a train which took us from China to the mainland side of Hong Kong. The one thing that did surprise me was that although Hong Kong is officially part of China now, it is still treated as a separate entity. Thus, we had to go through all of the traditional customs/immigration routine before we could enter Hong Kong. Once we got to the mainland side of Hong Kong, we had to navigate through the metro to get to Hong Kong island. Once on the island, we jumped into a taxi and got to the Holiday Inn shortly after midnight.
Saturday, Erich and I met up with a designer that used to work in Kohler, WI but moved to Hong Kong 3 months ago. He took us around town, and we got to see a lot of the area. I took a bunch of pictures, and 99% of them are unedited and on Flickr. I will replace those with the properly cropped and adjusted pictures once I get internet access at home, which may not be for another 2 weeks.
Instead of ranting about the inept landlord here, I think I will create a dedicated post, so that anybody googling these idiots may find the post. :)
Anyways, I'm now home. China was an awesome experience, and I will likely be going back sometime in the next 6 months. The hardest part was being away for 2 weeks, and I think next time, Allison might accompany me for a little vacation time. There's a lot more to blog about besides China, but that will wrap up my China updates for now. Thanks for reading!
