The first leg of my journey has come to an end. I left Hong Kong this morning and have arrived in Bangkok. Thankfully the humidity in Bangkok is not as intense as HK was. The humidity and heat made a lethal combination which made it difficult for me to function. I struggled to do simple tasks and did not always enjoy my excursions because of the heat :-(
Hong Kong was a great experience, I am so happy I made the effort to go (thanks for suggesting it Dad). It was so wonderful to reconnect with people I haven't seen for 15 years. It was as though no time had passed! I am so happy it worked out so well - what wonderful people to have re-enter my life.
I will absolutely need to go back to HK - there is so much left to be experienced. I didn't get to the Tai-O fishing village, Life cafe or Macau Island - and that's only the tip of the iceburg! I may chose a different time of year though, July was just too much for me. Perhaps I will consider going when it gets "cold" (down to 5).
Now I have moved onto Thailand. I connected with my group (two professors and several other students) and am typing from Bangkok. We will get to spend most of a week exploring Bangkok before Chiang Mai. I am excited about everything I've seen so far! It's a busy place, but in a different way than Hong Kong. There are pink taxis and we saw houses built on stilts in the water. I can't wait to start exploring! This is going to be such a wonderful experience!!
