Hong Kong and Kowloon

We landed in Hong Kong's Chep Lap Kok International Airport (a place I will go into great detail about during my next couple of Blog Posts).  It is a fantastic airport and what is really magnificent about it is that it is on reclaimed land.  More on that later.

When we got off the plane we immediately began making our way towards the train.  Hong Kong has a stupendous train system that would take us from the airport all the way to downtown Hong Kong and from there we would continue by train to Kowloon (where we would be staying) or we could take the ferry.  We ended up taking a ferry across Kowloon bay because this would give us an opportunity to look upon the Hong Kong skyline.  When I first saw the Hong Kong skyline I was taken aback.  Firstly because it hit me that I was clear on the other side of the world.  Hong Kong is exactly 12 hours ahead of us here so that made it very difficult contacting people.  Also something that I noticed when the Dark Knight came out is that I had seen the buildings that batman was leaping onto in person.  I don't know if anyone else thinks its cool but I did and thats all that matters.
