I thought that it would be beneficial to have my flight to Asia take off at 2am, as I figured I would sleep through the hellishly long flight and wake up almost in Taipei. This plan did not take into account the fact that airplanes are designed for midgets and are impossible to sleep on. So I arrived here in HK at about 9am (~5pm Seattle time) having had almost no sleep.
It was actually not a problem to get from the plane to the taxi to HKUST to my dorm room. I was settled into my tiny room by about noon. I walked around the campus a bit looking for a discreet place to smoke (the entire campus is non-smoking) and maybe a place to eat. I was so out of it that all I really found was a bunch of really humid air and some sweaty clothes. By about 2pm I could take it no more. I decided to rest my eyes for a bit and was out for the night.
I got a chance to walk around and take pictures this morning before everyone else woke up. The campus is amazing. It's a little city carved out of a tropical mountainside overlooking Clearwater Bay. It's organized vertically up the side of the mountain. All directions are given according to the 'lift' that a campus destination is associated with.
I'll post more pictures when I figure out how to make my American electronic devices work.
