HONG KONG UK
It was quite the trip to Hong Kong. You have to go through 2 or 3 passport boarder checks to enter Hong Kong from China. Hong Kong became officially China in 1997, but it has not changed really since the 150 year rule of the British that made it the very rich.
It must be amaizing the history of Hong Kong with Chinese and British. I just really wanted to get my visa renewed and get out. I just got on the train and got off at a random stop. I met a nice french guy that has lived in China for over a decade. he helped me get a cheap hotel and the fastest visa office. He was in hong Kong heading back to Paris. He was doing his Phd in Beijing.
I was very surprised of how many people from India and the Middle East and Africa that were in Hong Kong working. Very multi-cultural like that of Vancouver and Toronto. I only spent one night there. It is worth seeing for several days. Hong Kong is quite the contrast from China.

SHENZHEN CHINA
Shenzhen is the chinese city that boarders Hong Kong. It is really quite nice and clean compared to the rest of China. I finally saw an indoor skating ice rink. I was really excited to see that. You can buy the best and cheapest electronics there. It also has nice beaches and is only a 30 minute train ride to Hong Kong City. This week i plan to post photos as my blog has just been entries of writing lately.
