It's about 10:30pm. finally a day where it didn't rain. My friends and I took the fairy across to the mainland. That's where I needed to be this whole time, but the rain still would of made if difficult. We went to the Hong Kong Museum of History. It's not great, but it was to see the evolution of the area. By that I mean from the pre-historic time ( Read more... )

As the earlier post it's been black most of the day. Now it's just gray and rain. I have returned home after a half-day at the spa. It's so cheap out here; 2 services for (roughly) the price of one massage in Los Angeles. I needed this today, I needed to disappear from the dark. (But I am also spa crazy, I consider it one of my happy "drugs". Think ( Read more... )

it's close to 11am, and the sky is nearly pitch black. I sounds like a waterfall and bowling alley next to the window. I hope this is the worst day. 

It's about 6:30pm Thursday evening. It's getting slightly less enjoyable day-by-day. It's been a thunderstorm most of the day. We all know how well I do in that circumstance... not well. The bad news is, I still can't go home until Monday and Sunday is supposed to the one sunny day. Why can't I go home? There are no business class seat available ( Read more... )

My goal for the day was so to stay close to "home" and see some art. Usually that cheers me up or makes me think, which is a toss-up between good and bad. I did a local search via Google Maps to see what was around. Please note it is not reliable. It did find "art" within walking distance. Once I left and being lost for a little while I did find ( Read more... )

Weather: Still overcast and humid, thunderstorms on and off. It wasn't a day to do anything drastic, but there is local shopping center and with dozens of little street around. The typical market streets, where they sell knock-offs and home-goods. It's still strange that in a city that is known for it's up to date and constantly moving culture, it ( Read more... )

If a different place now. The flight was great coming here, but it wasn't the worst either. The first thing I noticed was how humid it was. No used to it, and being here for such a short visit, I don't think I will. It took awhile to get through immigration, my energy was lacking a lot. The friends I am staying with cooked some food. It was nice to ( Read more... )

It was raining and cold, not very much I could do. I went to Akihabara... anime mecha of the world. It's great, because even if you are lost you are not really lost.... be a lemming. It worked. Also my sense of direction was based on bags that I saw people carrying. I found my way to a few of the shops that I know have good merchandise. There were ( Read more... )

I woke-up this morning to the sound of wind coming through my flue. Remember I have a kitchenette in my room. It was not the best way to wake-up. Once I decided to get-up I couldn't move one of my legs very well. It was so stiff from all the walking I did yesterday. I also had a bit of a sunburn from the dress I wore yesterday. Oopsies. Thankfully ( Read more... )

The whole purpose of this trip was to view the view the cherry blossoms and now I have done so. Before that I spent a little time at the gym and cleaning my room.... fun stuff. I had the intention of going down to the river, but the desk-woman said Shinjuku Park was better. She added that at some parts of the river they are dying out of because of ( Read more... )
