causeway bay guest house
These guys ran the guest house I stayed at in Hong Kong on August 4th. They were very kind and spoke little English. They flattered me over my Chinese, but I felt like only a small part of what I intended got through. The room was incredibly small. You need to inhale to turn around, but it had hot water - which is more than I can say for the room I have in Zhuhai.
By the way, right outside this place is a starbucks, of all things. Hong Kong seems to be very busy and modern and there is a lot of English everywhere so it is farily comfortable moving around. People walk their dogs and clean up after them right on the busy sidewalks.
I had a devil of a time finding the building that night. My plane arrived late and it was nearly 3:00 AM when the bus let me off. To make matters worse, I slept on the trip and overshot my stop by one. It was tucked away in an alley with a church and a pub. I was asleep by 3:30 and I was wide awake by 8:00 AM.
That morning I found a bakery that had wonderful rolls full of some sweet red bean paste. It went perfectly with a soy latte - the last coffee I have had to date.
