Our Hotel

Our Hotel in Hong Kong was nothing spectacular but this wasn't a problem because I was here to experience Asia not chill in my hotel room.

My dad and I decided to take a walk around Hong Kong and get a feel for the city.  What we saw will stick with me for the rest of my life.  It was a Sunday which meant all of the Philippine houseworkers were not allowed in the house.  As my dad explained it, the houseworkers work Monday through Saturday and they live with the families but then on Sunday they are either forced out or given a day off I can't recall.  But anyways,  there was thousands of house workers everywhere.  It was so bad that entire streets and city blocks were closed down because the workers just sat down and occupied the middle of the road.  There were police on hand, oddly enough not to attempt to remove any of the workers but to protect them from other people.

After seeing this, my dad and I decided we wanted to have high tea which is an English installed during the times that Britain ruled Hong Kong.    High tea is of course tea, but there are also little pastries and sandwiches.  It is meant as a brunch and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  After high tea my dad and I headed back to the hotel before going out for dumplings later that night.  This pretty much sums up my first night in Hong Kong.  Tomorrow I will go over Victoria's peak and I will show you pictures (not mine because my camera died) and hopefully I will be able to link something on the trolley.
