And 16 hours later...

I'm finally in Hong Kong.
I've been here all of 3 hours and Already I have:

1) Surrendered to the fact that no one knows what Wisconsin is, so I'm now from outside Chicago
2) attempted to take in a quick lesson in Cantonese from my taxi driver
3) Met @ers, and of course, experienced an awkard moment while saying goodbyes (I guess hugging is a no?)

If sources are correct...come daytime I should be able to see the ocean outside my dormroom window.
Perfect.

Haha I guess awkwardness is one of those things, that travels across all cultures. I know it follows me. Was hanging out with a Euro the other day she moved in, are we hugging, are we doing the two kiss thing? Hesitation...oooooohhhhh. My bad.
