Hong Kong!!

We can actually see our own blog!!! WOW, I really like Hong Kong, no censure at all, like it a lot!

Now we could read all the messages you have left us the last 1 1/2 months, thanks a lot, it is so nice to know that you all read and follow our travel from home, we really appreciate it;)

We arrived here in Hong Kong on Friday evening, today is Sunday, right? Yes, it is, hard to count all the days, they kind of mix up when they're all the same, no work, no stress, good food, good fun, new friends, you know, the way life should always be;) No, just kidding, I like to work as well, later..

We are trying out couchsurfing for the first time, which means stay in a strangers place for free, great invention!! It is a internet-site where we have signed up, and then we can search for hosts in the citys and towns we go to, and maybe someone have time and wants to host, and then we meet a new friend, and gets much closer to the culture, all in one! Very good idea!

Our first host is a great guy, he asked us to stay till Wednesday, love it! And here in Hong Kong the hostels are crazy expensive, just like everything else, so it is a very good way to save money:) And we can even cook, love it, it's been too long since we made our own food!! And they have bread here, real dark bread!! And butter, and cheese, it is lovely, we are almost only eating bread with cheese, haha!! Didn't knew that was what I was going to miss the most, but it really is! Wow.. It is soooo good!!

Hong Kong is not like the rest of China at all, here it is very western and chinese at the same time, which can be both confusing and great! It is hard to describe it, but we like it! The streets are much more narrow than I thought, and it is always crowded, so many peoples live here, you are never alone.. Right now we live on Hong Kong Island, on the foot of Victoria Peak, it is quite steep here actually! We have still not been up there, the weather is not to good, it is actually quite bad, haha, terrible rain, the night we arrived some streets were flooded.. And from the train on the way here we saw many places with water covering road-signs and so on, it looked quite serious, but we have not heard anything on the news, so I guess it is under control. The last two days it has not been raining that much, so now it is not a problem anymore:) 

I have forgot to tell you some details about China..

1) Men have long fingernails.. I mean, really long!! It is so ugly! We think it is because the emperors just to have it long time ago, and it shows you don't have to do anything.. So it is a good thing, but it looks so bad.. 

2) Chinese people talk VERY LOUD IN THEIR MOBILES IN PUBLIC PLACES!!!! It is unbelievable, they are practically shouting, and it doesn't matter how close you stand, they will still shout like you weren't there, and didn't feel the pain from the shouting..

3) If they don't speak english, and they are trying to make us understand chinese, some of them move closer and shout louder, like that would make us understand, haha!! And again, I mean, really loud..

4) Oh, I forgot the last one, but I can write it the next time..

Have fun go mad!
