first day in hong kong

Posted by Michael Michelini on Oct 12 2007

arrived late last night – to start it off
1) my friends weren’t expecting me for another day…took a couple calls from a payphone to reach their mobile!
2) airport lost 1 of my bags.
3) sat in the middle seat next to a window seat guy that had bladder problems (or something that kept him hitting the bathroom…)…on a 15 hour flight

attended the global sources shows – electronics & the swimwear/underwear(no models, darn!)

here are some photos from my cameraphone:
