I heart Hong Kong

On Thursday, I returned back to my apt after being gone for a week and I had the flu. My apt is so cold and not the place you want to be when you are sick. I felt like death and hoped it would not ruin my trip to Hong Kong. Friday, I woke up and knew there was no way i could go to work. However, I was going to Hong Kong with the flu. Around 1 PM, I made it to base to catch the bus to the airport. I was feeling icky, but managed to have a very nice plane ride. I watched two movies Nights in Rodanthe (can't spell) and the Other Boleyn Girl. I liked both. I got off the plane where there were lots of shady taxi drivers trying to get me to take an overpriced ride, but I managed to find a hotel shuttle for a reasonable price. I got to the hotel, small/little dirty, but nice and went to bed. The first day I had scheduled a tour of the city. It was good where I saw the major points of Hong Kong and that evening I went to night market. The next day was my trip to Macau where I had scheduled a jump off the world's tallest bungee jump. The whole way to Macau I was unsure if I was going to go through with it. I got to the tower, signed in, paid, and was brought to the observatory on the 61st floor. I waited and watched people jump until it was my turn. They brought me to the landing after strapping my ankles together and walked me to the edge. When I went to the edge, I did not want to jump, but it was to late. The instructor told me what to do and I tried to listen, but was to scared. They counted till three and I am not sure if they pushed or you just fell, but 2 seconds into I thought I was going to die and then it became fun and then scary again when you are hanging upside down because you can feel your feet slipping. I did it and am glad, but would never do it again. It is a cool story and I have a DVD of the whole experience. After, I took to the ferry back to Hong Kong Island, went to another night market, and went back to the hotel. I had a great time, but don't know if there will be any more trips as I am broke.
