Being Matt Hallett

Wow. Really long flight. 14 hours. Longest for me since a Los Angeles to New Zealand as a kid. Flew over the middle of Alaska, Way into Siberia, then just above of North Korea to Beijing China, then staight South. Stange… Most flight to Asia for me usually hit the South of Alaska, then over Japan. Felt strange and a bit creepy to go so far inland. Looking down at the heart of Siberia made me realize in sad way that I’ll probably never go there. Not because I don’t want to, but because of how short life can be!

Anyways, we arrived safely and at our friends house. They live in one of the many tall buildings in Hong Kong with an outstanding view of the bay and the downtown building. I had forgotten that they all light up for a light show at night.

So far, we can only agree with the rumors and stereotypes of Hong Kong… Beautiful, tall, & friendly. Hong Kong won an award for the most impressive City skyline, and I can totally see why. Here are a couple of pictures/videos that I borrowed from the web.

We have just got up, so we’ll see where the day takes us…
