Hong Kong is incredible

I am on the 35th floor of an apartment building and the view from my bedroom window is absolutely nuts.
I mean, Yangshuo was pretty, and the mountains were pretty fantastic, but there is something that is just so welcoming and beautiful about Hong Kong.
Maybe it is the perfect balance of commercialism and the environment, maybe it is the fact that almost everyone here speaks at least a little English, or maybe it is the comfort of seeing a Lamborghini, followed by a Rolls Royce, and a set of two or three Porches.
Its great to say the least. the family that Rick has set me up is also pretty spectacular. They have been extremely welcoming and kind. They have two sons ages 13 and 11. It made me realize how much I missed my little brothers...

My trip here was pretty easy, the MTR, no big deal, and the rest was easy sailing thanks to some directions that I got from my host mom.
I did have to buy a 24 hour wifi membership in the train terminal before I jumped on the MTR, but it only cost like 3 bucks, so no big deal.
Gail's blog today was perfect. you have no idea...
I love/miss you/hope all is well.
I'll write more tomorrow.
