Sore feet

Today was a big one. I hopped the ferry from Kowloon (where my tops YMCA hotel is) to Hong Kong Island (34 cents one way!) and headed for Victoria Peak and its famous tram that's been in constant operation since 1888. It's steep, really steep...and there's only one cable pulling it. At the top, not only did I find a brilliant view, but also a Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. restuarant! I ate cajun shrimp and drank a pint of Tsing-Tao while watching boats in the harbour. I decided to walk down the mountain to the next tram station...couldn't find it and ended up on a two-hour journey through a tropical rainforest. I then set out in search of the Mid-Level Escalator - the longest escalator in the world. I knew it'd be long, but holy hell! The thing's incredible. I also visited the Man Mo Temple, which was so full of incence, I could harldy breathe. Tomorrow, operation panda begins...
