Settling in.

So I kind of feel like a dork for having a blog.
Yesterday after staying up all night we had some breakfast at a tiny "diner" type restaurant and the menu and waitress didn't do English very well. Weldon managed an omelet and I some fried beef, but John some how ordered the Won Ton soup with celery leaves, a floating fried egg , and two small hot dogs as garnish. After breckie we strolled around for a while, taking in the sites and people, and than went to the airport to get our bags. It was not terribly difficult to reclaim them.
The climax of the day was hooking up with the Ultimate Frisbee crowd here and playing disc in a field surrounded in monolith buildings. We had a great game for about two hours until ,during a five minute stretch, John started cramping from dehydration and I bid for a disc and took around 8 square inches of skin off my knees and left elbow. I had to pick rocks out of my skin for like 15 minutes and then the locals informed me that it was critical to properly dress all your wounds here because the humidity and overcrowding make infection a serious concern.
Fortunately we had our handy-dandy first aid kit and took care of business.
We met Weldon at the arranged time and he told us that he had got us a hostel. Way to go Weldon!! So we stashed our bags, met up with Ty (who had been on the beach) and went out for dinner and a "laser show" looking across the Harbor towards the skyline of Hong Kong. When we finally stumbled towards bed around 2030 we were almost unable to walk from exhaustion and over stimulation. We slept until 0800
This morning the boys are getting breakfast and I am looking into flights and visas. We have decided against Bali and Singapore, but are now seriously considering Laos and Nepal.
The plan for today is to ride the worlds largest elevator, do some fishing in the ocean, and catch some sun on the beach. Thanks for reading and I hope all is well in Alaska.
