Arrived in Hong Kong!!!

Flying to Hong Kong takes a LONG TIME.

Well, first off, Friday evening we ran through our act two last times and went straight home to pack.. packing and attempting to get a good nights sleep before an early morning is a far fetched idea.. Without much sleep our day began at 4:30 am. The taxi was of course late but thankfully we arrived at the airport in plenty of time!

The security at the airport immediately found our first bottle of tuffskin hidden in our trapeze bag and no ammount of pleading would convince them to let us keep it.  Thank goodness we had two others hidden in each of our checked suitcases... and apperenly they don't look at those bags as carefully... cause they both made it to Hong Kong! (a wonderful surprise when we opened our suitcases in the hotel).

Flight to Chicago at 8am... few hour layover in O'Hare (where they DO NOT have free wifi.  LAME).  Turned out they had over booked our flight and were trying to get people to volunteer for a flight the next day (turns out O'Hare is now snowed in... sucks for those generous travelers!).

Flight time to Hong Kong: 15 hours and 5 minutes.  Ballin.  We learned to request for seats next an an isle next time, cause being blocked in on either side by sleeping people makes moving around very difficult!

We had no leg room which was a pain in the butt.. literally. And we learned not to attempt to grasp any sense of time. We both had our hopes up of watching Despicable Me later on in the flight, but of course, never made it through the first 20 minutes and passed out for a few hours. "CURSE YOU TINY TOILET"

When we arrived there was a car waiting for us, with curtains on the windows... We both shared the same train of thought when the man the in the suit who we assumed was the driver got in the right side of the car, and the client got in the left.. "that's weird, I thought he would drive us, hmm whatever" our big double take hit when the car started moving and the steering wheel was not on the usual drivers side.. welcome to Hong Kong, they drive on the right!

We viewed a lot of Hong Kong's beautiful skyline driving to the hotel, as well as the city lights. Our rooms are cute and sweet, our beds are on the floor and the rooms are tiny, but perfect. Our views from our beds are incredible-- great big buildings and the water! The weather is gorgeous, warm and tropical in comparison to Montréal.
We are confused on time and day and sort of feel like we're trapped in some other time dimension but excited to see the city today! Our rehearsal starts at 8:30 pm so we have all day to explore :)
