Three hours in Hong Kong

We have an eight-hour stopover in Hong Kong international airport. We though: why not try to visit Hong Kong for a couple of hours? Fortunately for us, it is blazingly simple to reach downtown Hong Kong via a super-efficient public transit system.

And it's warm here.

Today must be some kind of national holiday connected with the Chinese New Year---the town was more or less a ghost town. We walked around and tried to get a feel for what the place was all about. We found large impersonal corporate skyscrapers, frighteningly skinny and tall apartment high-rises, many closed shops, and the few people we encountered were very nice. Practically nobody noticed us, which was also nice. And there must be some fantastic A-team trash collectors here, becasuse we found absolutely no litter anywhere.

I'll try to post more pictures later, because I can't seem to get my card-reader to connect to this courtesy airport terminal computer.

We should be in Mumbai in less than 11 hours, and we are very excited. Let the travels begin!
