We packed our bags and headed out to Hong Kong this morning. The airport has a Hello Kitty airline, as well as Hello Kitty breast feeding rooms and free massage chairs to any traveler who asks. Why is this not a thing in America?! It was BOSS!
After settling into our hotel, we decided to make the most out of our "free" day in Hong Kong, free meaning that we didn't count it as a full day and therefore, we're just in limbo according to our schedule. First stop, Man Mo Temple. At first Aaron wasn't that impressed. It wasn't until I pointed out that each cone shaped spiral hanging from the ceiling was actually burning incense. We decided to light some incense to worship the gods.
Aaron enjoys playing with fire.
Here's my massive bunch of incense. I wanted to light them one at a time, but I noticed that the asian people were lighting them all together. We also walked around downtown area and Cat Street which is just a market for junk. Craziest thing though....we ran into someone we know; Tamy the graphics professor from Paris Tech. We've run into him randomly in Paris as well, but how crazy to see him at a random market in Hong Kong without previously mentioning to each other that we were going to be in China. I guess it's a sign that Aaron should study games in Paris.
We then walked towards the Star Ferry but decided to call it, seeing as the weather looked like shit. Rain was coming. We took a cab to a mall and caught a movie, Parkland. It was about the Kennedy assassination.
