So I am just going to post part of our first day in Hong Kong. Sorry to say but our time on the internet is up and I was trying my hardest to upload a video but no long. Other parts will continue. Sorry again.

So I guess that the title for this one is a little interesting. I will attempt to explain why.
Part of the reason I say that is because we technically never experienced Monday properly. We boarded our flight to Seoul, Korea at 11:50 p.m. on Sunday evening. We then arrived in Incheon International Airport at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. So even though the flight ended up being about 13 hours, we were in the air for all of Monday technically. Very strange indeed.
Anyway, like I mentioned in my previous entry for the previous day, our flight landed safe and sound at Hong Kong international airport. We picked up our stuff and went through customs. The first thing that we noticed when we arrived in that airport was how hot and humid that it was. When we finally picked up our luggage, I noticed that mine smelt very … fragrant. Something white had exploded in my luggage and upon futher inspection we noticed that it was everywhere and leaking out of the bag. Jordan and I decided that was a problem for another day and started making our way out of the airport.
We next then exchanged our money and left the airport. We then caught our bus for Kowloon Tong, where the temple is located. The cool thing about the bus was that we were on a double decker bus. I noticed the most amazing thing after we started moving. That was how much the place resembled England.
You see, up until 1997 (I believe that is the right year) Hong Kong was under British control. So it seems that when the area was undergoing its modernization phase, the area for inspiration was the green and pleasant land. Everything from the cross signals to the paint on roads. That was pretty cool because it reminded me a lot of England.
