Taiwan was a great time with Derek, Ed and Ashley. This baseball game was super cool to see. Cheering the entire game is normal in Taiwan.
We are now in Hong Kong. This was on the first day when we walked all over and went to the top of Victoria Peak.
Then we went to Aberdeen on the other side of the island to see the floating village. It wasn't really much to see but the boat ride was cool and the apartment buildings are just insane. The contrast between people living on simple boats compared to people living on the 30th floor of a building is dramatic.
This is the view from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island at night. They have a music/light show daily which was very colorfull. This city is amazing, chaotic, and one of the most amazing places on this entire trip.
We stayed at very simple hotel the first two nights for $40 per night. Then we moved because the hotel wouldn't let us book for 3 more nights at the same rate. I found this hotel on Hong Kong Island for $50 per night with a pool. The elevator jammed on our way up to the room. It was actually scarey and we were in there for five minutes until we pried the door open and climbed out a few inches above one of the floors. The manager then upgraded our room to the Executive level. The view is unreal and the room is perfect. Today we barely left the room. We just read and drank coffee while looking up occasionaly.
