Today

On the train headed back to Shenzhen to visit Athena this time. Today I went to some temples and gardens and then went to the Jade market. Been going to bed entirely too late every night :-p. Last night I got to bed again around 2am. What can I say, I don't do relaxing travel.

Heade back to hk

Met up with some people today in Kaiping. We went for hot pot for lunch and then to see the different castles. They're kind of a combination between a castle and nice house. They have some defenses against would be intruders but they are mainly meant as residences for the rich families that built them.

Made it to Hong Kong

I'm standing in the immigration line at the hong kong airport. Gotta love free wifi :-). In Tokyo Narita airport I saw this cook book of Japanes food. It was a pretty thin book, maybe 30 recipes, and they wanted the equivalent of $20 for it. So I looked through the recipies, and its the exact same recipies as in the Japan chapter of my "Around the World" cookbook that cost me $5 in the Borders bargain books section :-p. The exact same pages, same pictures, everything :-p. I think mine was a better deal ;-)

Getting closer to customs. Next I just need to find my way to the hostel.
