So the highlight of this day was to meet up with Jacqueline, who is a friend of a friend from SF. She took me to a place called Dragon I (cute, right), which is a spectacular Dim Sum place. It turns out that we could eat all of the Dim Sum that we wanted for a set price of HK$110. This is a good deal! Even if you think in terms of water bottles, which I didn't have to anymore.

She also told me what it's like to live in HK, and we chatted about all sorts of things. All in all, it was a fantastic experience! Plus, the place had what I thought to be the coolest bathroom on the planet (that is until I saw an even better bathroom the next day).

This scene was literally 100 yards from my hostel. It made for interesting sleeping (or lack thereof)

HK has a bunch of hills (that tons of people live in). To make it easier for the hill-people to get to work, they have this escalator system that takes you up several hundred feet. People actually use this for comuting - in the early hours the stairs down. In the afternoon, they go up.
