Diary Excerpt - Hong Kong

After a horrendous start to the beginning of a fun time away, I have realised it was all meant to happen this way! Yeah I may not have clothes for a few days in a city that is only 13°C, Amsterdam, but it was all meant to happen like this. After releasing about 100 buckets of water from my tear ducts everything has turned a full 180°, I was very fortunate to sit next to a young man named Dave. Major help at the HK airport, checked through as a resident with him so I didn't have to wait in the visitors line, then caught the bus over to central and he told me exactly where to disembark.

Being a girl that lives on the beach, any city you come across hits you pretty hard. The only way I can describe this incredible coastline is 'organised chaos', the disorganised orderly fashion the cargo units were displayed was overwhelming, the astonishing high rise buildings were literally breathtaking and the rude man that pushed pass me at immigration left a distasteful first impression, however my homeish tasting soy chai latte from the busy Starbucks has brought me back to my open mindedness and has reconnect me with the cyber world with their 20 mins of free wi-fi allowing me to sit back and watch this mixed environment. Such class, sophistication and refinement. Then again I am at central. Just wait till I enter the chaos of the exterior.
