Asian Geography

With another week of January winding down, we're only 12 days away from going over to Hong Kong. For those who aren't too familiar with where Hong Kong is, coming from Korea, it's a whopping three hour-flight away; roughly, a flight between Ottawa and Florida (which is strange - I always perceived Asia to be so small). Since i'm moving three hours South, though, the weather's also going to get warmer accordingly - we'll go from a bone-chilling (haha) -10 C to about 18 C.

As it stands now, the plan is to apply for Chinese Visas once we arrive, so that we can cross into Shenzen - an apparent haven to buy cheap Chinese-electronics. I don't really have anything in mind that i'd like to buy, but I think the Chinese Electronics Market is something every geek should see at least once in their lives.

We're going to be staying from January 27th (the last day of the Lunar New Year, so, as people are heading home from the mega-holiday), until Saturday January 31st. Outside of Shenzen, I don't think anything's been set in stone yet - but i've really got to get started on doing some research for some cool things to see. I've been lazy. Procrastination ain't just for you kids out there who write exams, and giving in assignments!

Take care.
