Hong Kong
I spent a bit of time in Hong Kong on the trip, with the group and then a couple days by myself. Great time.. really enjoyed it. It is like beijing plus tokyo plus london.. very clean, more expensive than mainland china, and very techy/modern in parts, and in other parts pretty and classic

xian - and the earthquake rumors

so im here in Xi'an - people here think that they are going to have another quake
and are all sleeping in the streets. its the one week anniv of the quake, and its a full moon, and people are talking about this everywhere in xian.
its like a shanty town
and today they had a 3 minute moment of silence, and EVERYone was in the streets, they turned off the tv stations and closed businesses.. CRAZY
