Nicole in Hong Kong: Arrival

Hey everyone!

I arrived two days ago, March 25, after a grueling 15 hour flight from Newark, NJ. Unfortunately for my boyfriend Chris though he missed the flight due to a delay in his flight to Newark and ended up having to travel for about 30 hours until he finally made it. Luckily for me though, there was an empty seat next to me so I enjoyed the flight with plenty of leg room. I spent most of my time watching the in-flight movies and even though they had about 200 movies to choose from I ended up watching Tangled about 3 times!

After nearly dieing of anxiousness for the last hour of the flight we finally landed in Hong Kong! We made it through safe and sound at about 7:30pm and didn't actually get to the hotel by 10:30pm so starving with few food options we decided to eat at a near by McDonald's, since we wanted to taste local cuisine lol! It was surprisingly a lot better then the states.
Here are some pictures of the room:

Kristin is sitting at her desk which is in the common area since it doesn't fit in her room

The kitchen!

My bedroom :)

The view from my window, its not much since we are only on the first floor though.

We then headed back, unpacked and went to bed to wake up early for orientation the next day. Where we toured the campus and headed into the shopping area nearby which was kind of like NY China town but a lot bigger and a lot crazier! We got on the subway and there was zero personal space.

Here is the court room. The school building was built in the 1950s and was originally a court house so they kept one of the court room and some jail cells but I didn't get any pics of those.
