Eye Ball Shocker (HongKong)

We've been in HK for two days now, and it is a real shock to the eyeballs after SE Asia - especially Vietnam. Also suffering from severe bout of walletshock. Its expensive here. Well, seems about the same as NZ, but once again after SouthEast Asia, thats pretty darned pricey. What's more i've only got 1min30 left at this terminal in a starbucks type cafe as internet cafes seem to be virtually impossible to find. Well on HongKong Island anyway, where we are today.

Staying right in the centre of Kowloon. Neon signage extravaganza. Our guesthouse room is slightly bigger than your average fridge interior, and for budget accomodation we're paying about 3 times more than for midrange accomodation in Vietnam. The spending is well under control though. Well, apart from that limited edition TRON sweatshirt I found.

We'll be in Shanghai Monday night. Looking forward to China (mainland).
