Well on Sunday November 30th, Jake and I woke up early and caught a taxi to the airport. We thought we could get breakfast at the airport, but they really didn't have anything. So off we went with a couple of cookies to hold us over. We flew into Shenzhen, which is right next to Hong Kong, but it is a ton cheaper. We then to a taxi to the border and crossed into Hong Kong. Then we jumped on a Subway and were off to find our hotel. We each had 2 pieces of luggage and for some reason one of the places where we switched subways was really crowed. I was trying to make it in and the doors started to close, Jake was on the subway and it was jammed packed. I got on and the doors shut....on my backpack! They opened again and I pushed really hard to make room for me! We got off the subway and found the street our hotel was on. However we didn't realize it was about 15 blocks to our hotel or we would of taken a taxi. we got to our room and got settled in and relaxed a little bit and then set out for some food.
We ended up eating at this really good Mexican/Italian place on a street called Soho, which has a ton of tasty food. Afterwards we took the longest outdoor escalator up and down and up and down and all around. We seriously walked past the same place like 3 times because we were trying to find exactly where it started. It was so pretty with all of the building lights. We found a little park area that had a huge Christmas tree that was all lit up. That made my day because I love Christmas and I haven't got to see a ton of decorations in China.
