Here I am again

Last year, when I visited China, I loved it so much that I vowed to return. But I didn't really know when I'd make it back to this corner of the world. Well, here I am again. Not exactly the same place--but at least the same corner! And here I am traveling again. It reminds me of so many good times!!! I do miss this lifestyle of discovery--finding myself in new, exciting and sometimes intimidating cities, meeting people from near and far. But I also remember that it can be a lonely lifestyle, so for the moment I am happy with this briefer form of adventure.

These past two days in Hong Kong have been wonderful. The weather was perfect. Yesterday I went to Lantau, the biggest island in Hong Kong. Here I visited the largest outdoor Buddha--very impressive, sitting high on a mountaintop (which naturally has steps leading up to it that you can't help but climb). It was awfully touristy, but a very nice break from the big-city life.

I had a dream last night that, for various reasons, my flight would be delayed until the 28th of March. Hmmm ... But sadly today I go home (so, M, you can tell everyone I'll be back Sunday afternoon :P). It's funny, although my flight is something like 14 hours, I arrive in San Fran BEFORE I leave from Hong Kong. Ha. Darn 16-hour time difference!

Anyway, I wish I could post more pics now, but the connection here is slow. I also took some cool videos I'll do my best to post on YouTube. I'll let you know when they're up.
