Jet Lag
Jennifer and I were lucky enough to be able to visit Hong Kong for the last week and change, and I've gotta say that it's one of the best places I've visited. On the way there, the camera we brought broke, and so while we picked up another one, all the pictures we took are on Jennifer's Flickr stream.
We had a great time and Jennifer's talk was very well received. Getting around Hong Kong is surprisingly simple given how tortured the street layouts are. The service at hotels there is like nothing else, and the city is breath-taking in scale. We had some of the best thai, cantonese, and dim sum we've ever tasted, thanks in large part to a little guide book we picked up in a book shop in Kawloon. Also, if you get to Hong Kong and you need your daily dose of dorkyness, check out the Science Museum. Their 4-story-tall Rube Goldberg device is something you don't easily forget.
If you were trying to get ahold of me in the last couple of weeks, I'll try my best to get back to you soon.
