Sat 12/29 Arrive in Hong Kong (finally!) at about 8PM - from here, I will grab my backpack and head out to find my hostel!
Sun 12/30 Probablly not doing much in the morning...catching up on the time difference and waiting for my friend Greg to arrive from South Korea...he gets in in the early afternoon...from here, we will start seeing the sights and try to not get into too much trouble
