i still have a lot to put up from india, but since i am so far behind i am going to start posting things from china. yes, i am now in china! but first we flew to hong kong and hung out for 4 days while we waited on a visa.
our china adventure actually began in new delhi. at the airport we made the greatest of discoveries. who would not gorge themselves here?
we found out our flight was 45 minutes delayed to 11:55pm because the prime minister of india was flying with us! unfortunately we never saw him. he was probably tucked way up in first class. we had a two-hour wait for our flight, so we took a nap.
the flight was uneventful and we got in close to on time in hong kong. hong kong is not quite a separate country from china but it is basically a separate government. we were given 90 days in hong kong but had to apply for a another visa to get into china. after two trains we made it to our hotel and checked in. unlike the last hotel we stayed in, which was in new delhi, there were no cockroaches in our beds.
may i introduce you to the most beautiful thing? after 3 months in india with extremely sweet milky coffee, yes please! i know it is kind of sad but i cannot tell you how happy this made me.
we stayed in a place called kowloon. hong kong consists of multiple islands, kowloon being one of them, though i think it is part of the mainland. behind zoë in the picture below is hong kong island.
walking around town was so much fun. basically, the entire city is a giant mall. there are tons of restaurants, but we only found 2 vegetarian places in the 4 days we were there.
towards the end of our stay we finally got a 30 day visa for $200 US each, ouch! as soon as we got it we got on a ferry to shenzhen and guess who we stayed with?
mr. serio and his family!
