The Virgin Run

Welcome Welcome to my first attempt at blogging. I'm not much of a writer but I'll offer a little mindless jabber to narrate my photos for you. China is amazing. It's just so full, full of everything. People, cars, food, sights, sounds, and smells. It's a litle bit of sensory overload which is something I enjoy but it's definitely not for everyone.


Ok here is my room at the Cosmic Guest House. I called fromt he train station before I left to make sure I had a room cause I didn't want to pack all my stuff from one place to another and she says "Yes Yes I haf woom. Wheh ahh yu?" I said "the train station." "Ok I see yu" and hung up. So I went to find it hoping she did. I get there packing close to 150 lbs of crap between a backpack. a frontpack, and a duffle back in my hands and she has a little girl worker take me to my room that is a block away. She says "I help yu" and picks up my smallest bag, (the frontbag when I'm fully loaded) and almost fell over when she put it on like a backpack. It was pretty funny to watch. She literally could not understand how I carried all that crap.

Ok check out this room. It was smaller than most closets in the states. I'm not even laying all the way down. Thats with my back partly up agains the wall. I had to sleep in the fetal position. The whole floor area was full with my bags. The bathroom consisted of a toilet with a shower head right above it. Aaron would love that. You could shower off the cling ons after every deposit without even getting off the pot.























The Hong Kong Island skyline looking from Kowloon. At night it's amazing cause it's all lit up and they have a big lazer light show. I didn't have my camera at night so you'll just have to settle for a few day shots. I flew into Hong Kong and stayed there for 3 days before moving to Guangzhou.
