Transitting in Hong Kong

I must say that the transit system here is quite a bit more advanced than back home... then again there are 6 million more people to contribute tax dollars... nonetheless, it is impressive.

I have been all over this island and back again. I have been to the Peak, up and down the World's Longest Escalator, to the backside of the island, to the Temple St. Night Market, to the Symphony of Lights, to the Hong Kong Park, on the ferries, buses, trams, and my own two feet. What a wild time it has been, and I still have one more day.

On other interesting news, I went to the Hong Kong Cemetery and was unable to locate my Great Uncle. The Assistant Manager there said that he would check the rest of the local cemeteries when it was not a weekend (ie. today) and contact me at the hostel.

This post is dedicated to him. He held true to his word and I now have the location I am looking for. I will take the bus to the back side of the island tomorrow and visit the grave site in Stanley.

Thank you for that invaluable piece of help.

As for me, I am not sure what is going to happen. No doubt I will find stuff to fill the day with tomorrow... which does not include getting shived by the guy claiming to be a holy man whilst telling my fortune... he was not thrilled when I would not pay for his unwanted and unneeded services... my future will unfold on its own thanks... Hopefully I will get to book another hostel or two. I will try to find a better spot to do e-mail in Chengdu in a few days to try and post some photos to keep everyone up to date on my rugged appearance.

All for now.

Also... I hope not to be
