DAVE AND (or) KIM WITH INDIANS!!!!!!!

So we've been on Hong Kong for about three days now after three amazing days in Macau. The greatest thing about these two cities has been the public bathrooms. In India, the only semi-reliable place to go would be in our hotel room which was dingy at best. In Macau, I would avoid the bathroom in our 5 star hotel room just to go to the ultra lavish ones at the brand new Casnios surrounding it.

Speaking of Casinos we won $180 in Macau. It was HK$ but, still enough for a couple stiff drinks.

Hong Kong has been way better since our first trip here. Our first time, I think my jetlag made me thing everything smelled like steamed buns. This time, minus the jet lag, things only sometimes smell like steamed buns. Also the area of Kowloon near our hotel is jam packed with Indian men hassling you like crazy to go into their shops or buy fake bags/watches or hashish. Feels like India. Culture shock averted.

This might be our last post for a while because we leave for mainland China tomorrow and I'm pretty sure blogger is blocked there. So, as a special treat here is a collection of photos of Kim and I with Indian people!!!

 Most foreigners to India get asked to take photos with random Indians at least once during their trip. For Kim and I this happened all the time. It went from one man running around and rounding up nearly 30 members of his family for a photo with us to a line-up of parents placing there children between Kim and I for a photo (both of these were at Qinta Mintar in Delhi strangely enough). At first it was cool but after a while it feels weird. So rather than just being objectified Kim and I decided to participate and take photos back. Below is the results, although we really only took pictures back about 40% of the time (it always made the interaction way longer so sometimes it was easier to just move on).

Enjoy.

bahhhhhh internet is being annoying... more coming soon. or not whatever.

Hey guys,

Just got your postcard! So it took 22 days. Not bad India Post!

If I go to India, I'll remember to bring my electric razor.

Have fun in China!
