Cheers from Hong Kong! Sal and I are on the computer at our hotel (12 hours ahead of USA east coast, 15 hours ahead of west coast!) using our 15 minutes of connectivity per day. Apologies for not updating the blog since arriving here, but at least we can connect to Google from this part of the world. :)
Sal described Hong Kong as a perfect blend between San Francisco (with its steep hills) and Chinatown in NYC (great food)! It also has a district named SoHo and a Times Square complete with a giganto TV screen, so you can guess what other city it is similar to.
We CANNOT believe this is the last night of our 'Round-the-World adventure and feel that we are just now getting the hang of it and picking up momentum. Many people we've met along the way have been flabbergasted at the thought of traversing the globe in such a "short" amount of time. Yes, American readers, three months' holiday for such extensive global travel is a trifle short jaunt to the rest of the world...in fact, we've met many people who are off on anywhere from five to twelve months of travel adventures...and some that have vowed to "no come back." Please view that link - we miss you, Jim!
We've loved every minute of this crazy adventure and will never forget the amazing people and animals we have met along the way. <Shout out to the gibbons in Khao Yai National Park in Thailand!> Once we're home sitting on our bums we'll upload some pictures and videos and hopefully describe in an interesting way some of what we've seen and what we've learned.
Looking forward to seeing you this week loved ones and friends.
All our best from Asia,
Jilvatore
