Hong Kong Day 1 (Wednesday, April 21)

So, today we were in Hong Kong.

After we got there, we walked down the street to the Star Ferry. It was kinda cool, and a token to ride it only cost 28 cents US or something like that. We took a taxi to the tram to Victoria Peak, then took the tram up. After going up about 2408847 escalators then discovering you needed a special ticket to get to the top, we tried to find our way outside. I got some chicken tenders at a Burger King there (lol) then we found a door outside. Amazingly, considering how hot it was before, it was windy, cold, and extremely foggy. But it was also beautiful. I have some pics. On our way to get in like to the tram, we met a 20-30 year old man from Canada who was living in Paris for his work. And he was CUTE. I swore that I wouldn't wash my hand after shaking his. So then, we took a taxi to the wrong Star Ferry port, managed to get lost, then found our way back to the shuttle for the cruise. After that, I was tired, so I just watched movies in my room for a couple hours, then went to dinner (I ordered a piece of beef, and was given a cow!) then crashed in bed.

Today is another day in Hong Kong. Let's see how it goes!

Bangkok (Wednesday April 14)

We got settled in our hotel room at about 2:30, and I promptly fell asleep. Amazingly, I didn't sleep forever. I got maybe 5 hours of sleep. At about 8 AM, we went to get breakfast. The food they had was amazing. My grandma and I got pictures. Our hotel was directly on the river. After that, we waited around 'till 11 and we went on a bus to get to Laem Chabang, where we would board the cruise. After a tiring 2 hour drive with no air conditioning (and Thailand is EXTREMELEY HUMID), we got there.

We had a confusing check in, but we finally got on the ship.

Two Fridays ago, we got upgraded to a full suite on the ship. It was much larger then the mini-suite. I'm going to post something about the amenities provided later.

So, we got somewhat settled. After that, my grandma and I went down to the library (of course), and I did the paperback book exchange and got a book I have been wanting to read (yay!). We checked out the teen club, and amazingly, there are 5 other teens onboard, but only one other registered last time I saw.

We had a tasty dinner after that. I had beef medallions (Yum!). After that, I set my grandma up on the internet and went to bed. I was exausted.

Thursday is next!)
