Chinad-out

I am back in cozy little Horton 408. It's 3 in the morning and am experiencing jet lag because I woke up at 12:30 and still haven't fallen asleep again.
My trip was GOOD, so good, but it wore me out. Other than on our day on Macao, our time was split between Hong Kong and Shenzhen (where 85% of the world's iPhone 4s are made. side note: the factory workers only make 250 USD a month, which is way low for that city. it made me a little sad that I am supporting that having recently become an iPhone 4 owner.)
Anyways, Hong Kong was so stinkin' crowded and incredibly diverse. It is home to not only Chinese but a lot of Indians and people from literally every Asian country. Because the British owned Hong Kong a lot of Europeans still live and work there.

    Love,

  2. Hi Emily! I am so glad that you had such a good te. I hate jet lag! I got back on Wednesday night and I am still resting. I can't believe you are a iPhone 4 owner way to go :) I will be in town next Friday- can't wait to swap stories!
