Arrived in Hong Kong

While writing this post, I’m extremely tired and I haven’t slept for 48 hours. The plane ride took a lot out of me and also it was a pretty bad plane ride. My flight was very long as I got a cheap ticket. It was 21 hours total. From Toronto to San Fransisco then head to Hong Kong. Long flight and I was going at it alone which adds on to the boredom of this flight. I had my PSP (with extra batteries), my laptop and my Iphone… That helped up a lot!!!

Before I leave, I head to Tim Hortons for the last time for 3 weeks…

Waiting for my flight…at 7AM…

My plane…small…

Inside…small…

Arrived at San Fransisco Airport 5 hours later…

Walking around…

A Coach store in an airport…

Best Buy vending machine…

Got 3 hours to burn. So why not have a good meal before my flight…

My lunch…

My entertainment till my flight. Pretty much played StarCraft 2 the entire time…

The flight sucked a lot. The little girl beside me was annoying as hell that I couldn’t even sleep at all throughout the 13 hour plan ride…then thanks to Black Rain, I had to wait another 1 hour before I was able to leave the plane…

Arrived inside Hong Kong Airport after a painfully long plane flight!!!

Take a train to the baggage claim…

In North America, we call it baggage claim while here in HK, it’s called baggage reclaim…

Waiting for my luggage. Took a good 30 minutes too…

Met up with family and they took me to my hotel…

Took a taxi to the hotel…

The sausage was good at the small cafe in the hotel…

This on the other hand was pretty bad. The meat was hard to eat and taste burnt…

My hotel…

Staying at YMCA Hong Kong…

My small room for 5 days…then Japan!!!

Writing this post and future post on my trip from my laptop. Tomorrow is shopping day and planning to head to many places. Will talk about it later. Right now I need sleep bad!!!

Hey I’m in Hong Kong too! Today I went to search for hobby shops in Mong Kok and found two places with them.

1. Sino Centre: Loads of stuff, beware of bootlegs >_<, Chinese manga I can't read. (Lol shame on me)
2. Around Kwong Wa Street. (Mainly guns and model kits)

I'm sure you already know of them, and know of many more I assume?
Would really appreciate it if you could give me directions to more locations. ^.^

Ah and of course, have fun in both HK and Japan.

  Tried the Japanese department store Sogo at Causeway Bay? I think they don’t do quality figures there but there’s plenty of Japanese goods and a book store at the top floor. There’s also the Apita store at Taikoo, City Plaza.
  
  I covered the few places I know on my blog:

21 hour long flight! Wow, that is long… My ones from the UK are usually only around the 12 hour mark. I just bring my netbook along and watch some Anime to pass the time. I try to choose the fanservice free ones of course in case I get odd looks. Last time some middle-aged men were complaining to me because of that scene in Death Note when Light’s looking at a men’s mag, lol.

  WOW!!!
  My sadly my gaming laptop can’t last so long so I have to use my Ipod to pass the time.
  I usually go with friends but this time not really. Some kid was really annoying and sat beside me…it was an irritating flight…

  The YMCA is for rich people?
  I didn’t know that.
  My uncle is a VIP member so I was able to get a room there…

At least after that long flight they didn’t lose your luggage. Unlike mine when I went there last…
