My last full day in Asia. I’m going to miss some things (the women! oh but for the language barrier) but not others (squat toilets, lack of regular showers or sinks, crowdedness, heat, humidity, strange meats). I will be happy to get back to America. Today we got out again at around 9 and looked around for breakfast before deciding everyone was still sleeping settling for McDonalds. Incidentally, they are making a killing on breakfast sales since apparently no one else can be bothered to get up that early. We headed over to Central Station on our tourist pass (HK$55 for one 24-hour period) and found the Airport Express line where I purchased a ticket for HK$100. Unfortunately, they claim to be only good for the day of issue, but a customer service guy assured me that it would be okay. I hope that’s really the case. Then we headed to the Google Office in Times Square near Causeway Bay. There we had some carbonated fruit juice and drinkable yogurt. The engineering part of the office was predictably empty at 9:30 AM while the marketing portion was full. The view of the skyscrapers outside of the office was spectacular. The foosball table was in good repair, but it was in the weird configuration where there is only one goalie for each side. We then took the subway to the Central station where we walked to the peak tram station, encountering the US Consulate General along the way after wandering up and down Lower and Upper Albert Road. The peak tram was the first purely tourist attraction thing I’ve taken in Hong Kong and it was fun - kinda like a roller coaster with the extreme upward angle but no sudden drop. We were then at the Peak Shopping Mall where we took some pictures and bought Sims 2 glowy diamonds. There was an EA Experience store that allowed us to play the games which was pretty fun. We also had some good but expensive lemonade - HK$28 for a “large” of about 333 mL. Li also needed to go to the bathroom at one point, so he ran to the closest stall which happened to be a squat stall when there was a regular toilet right next door. We saw a fully-loaded Maersk supership crossing the bay which was pretty cool. Eventually we took the tram down and made our way through downtown, which included a small park, skyscrapers, and government buildings (including the Central Post Office) before making it to the ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui which only cost HK$1.80. I saw a building that reminded me of Stas’ crystal spire future. I picked up a blueberry sundae from McDonalds before we headed back to our hostel. The rest of the day is a blur of laundry, packing, Internet, Turkish doner, and sleeping early for my flight the next day.
