I ended up loving Hong Kong so much more than I had expected. Lights, food, shopping, this is THE metropolis of metropolises! Luxury high end shopping malls are a dime a dozen, not to mention breath-taking architecture. I'm now in Tokyo where we are stayhing at a quaint little japanese inn where we sleep on floor mats and drink lotsa green tea.

I missed out on 2 major holidays this yr, spending Xmas waiting for our delayed connection flight in an airport and New Year's eve sick in my room! =(
