Hong Kong Hazy Morning
3/23/06 3:14 PM, Hong Kong Airport
I staid up last night and set an alarm for this morning with the theory that traveling while tired would help me sleep on the plane. I did not need the alarm; I woke up around 6:30 and only managed to doze a bit afterward. I thought I would be wide-awake all day but am having a hell of a time staying awake right now. The last glass of white wine probably did not help matters any.
I walked Kowloon this morning, mostly along the waterfront. The haze I saw last night has grown to a cloud that obscures all the building tops. I was not hungry this morning either but did have some Dan Dan Mien (soda noodles in a peanut sauce with chilly oil) for lunch. As I checked out of the hotel it started to rain pretty hard. I am glad I got my walk in while it was cool out but still dry. Speaking of cool, the rain dropped the temperature a whole lot. For the first time on my trip I have been wearing my fleece jacket.
