What does everyone classify Hong Kong as now adays? I went through customs and had my passport checked and the check for swine flu so I'd claim a new country. Okay there is Hong Kong island but Hong Kong also has its mainland area Kowloon which is where I am staying and most of everything takes place, so I guess it could be a province of China? My Geography lessons really didn't prepare me for this.

Anyways I've swapped the compartive comfort of my tour accomodation for my pitstop hostel. It's in a tall dirty building a couple of floors up and a cat looking distinctly like Munkustrapp has just walked passed mewing loudly, I don't think he was welcoming me here. My room is a box. There are sleazy men around and I am thinking the bathroom, tiny and frosted with no proper lock is just right for a Pyscho remake. Yeah I'm an idiot with an over active imagination.

So my list of where I've gone and where pictures will be following for tomorrow are - Beijing - Great Wall - Xi'an - Shanghai - Yangshou - Longji Terraces

Until I leave Hong Kong on Saturday I definitely have regular internet access.
