My first impression of Hong Kong is that it is an extremely cosmopolitan, diverse city. I was expecting the cosmopolitanism to some degree, of course, but I've only been here about seven hours, and I already think I could enjoy living here.
After landing two hours late, we hit up the hotel, checked in, showered, and went on a search for some late-night eats. With the help of our concierge, we wound up at Knotsford Terrace, a very Western area in Kowloon, but at least it had restaurants that were still open and serving dinner.
From there, we taxied it across the Cross Harbour Tunnel to Lan Kwai Fon, where we found a great expat bar amidt a freakily spring-break like atmosphere. For a Tuesday night, it definitely wasn't half bad. We then meandered across the street to a very unassuming bar that ended up having an awesome live band, where we joyfully rocked out to "Sweet Child O'Mine" and "When I Come Around."
It's well past 3:00 a.m. and there is much sight-seeing to be done tomorrow before we ship off on Dragon Air to Phnom Penh, so for now I will go sleep...in...my...bed. [In the event that the punctuation didn't make it completely obvious, that was meant to be half-sung to the tune of "And then I jizzed...in...my...pants.]
Until tomorrow!
