Going out with a Bang in Hong Kong

Top: Brent and Zoltan with the Tower of San Miguel at trivia night

Bottom: Big Buddha in the background

Top: Our winnings at the horse races. We bet $20HK on a trio and won.
Bottom: A literal "ice bar" that served vodka shots. They give you fur coats when you walk in.

Hong Kong has been quite the experience... Let's put it this way: it's been by far the city we've stayed up the latest. We had one super tour guide in Zoltan. He planned itineraries for us and went out with us every night despite having to get up at 8am. I don't know how he did it.

Hong Kong has such amazing night life... people party until 4 in the morning every night of the week. It's sort of a weird town though in that it's a mix of New York, Las Vegas and Beijing. It's really NOT uncommon to see older businessmen with young Asian women (you probably can figure that one out) and people driving Ferraris and Maserati.

There is a layer of smog here, but beautiful mountains near by to escape the city. We got to see a giant Buddha, won $500 HK (about $125 US) at the horse races, explored the Museum of History and took quite a few cable cars to get magnificenest views of the city.

Today we're back to the States. We have mixed emotions about going back. We feel like we could keep traveling forever - we're now used to living out of a backpack and sleeping in 20 different beds throughout the month. I miss talking to my friends, seeing family and being productive in society. I miss my dog, Morgan! I can not wait to see him. I hope he hasn't forgotten about us.
