China Trip, Week 2: Goodbye Prosser, Hello Hong Kong!

Our week long stint in mainland China consisted of long days in the office and at the factories perfecting the outerwear, even longer evenings watching the streets flood as the seemingly endless torrents of rain kept us from venturing beyond the confines of our hotel into the greatest controlled chaos one has ever seen: the streets of china.

Did i mention China has only 1 time zone for the entire country? making sunrise on the eastern coast of Asia show his ugly little face promptly at 4:23am, which in turn made me show my certainly uglier (at 4.23-i am hungover already-AM) face before 5am daily, as we geared up for the daily monsoons, smog, work, scooters of death, and of course our obligatory 3-times in a week dinner at Hooters, Hangzhou.

Finally, after 1 broken bottle, 1 torn meniscus, 1 destroyed hotel room, 3 destroyed stomachs, a possible case of bird flu or SARS, and enough creepy faces caught on film thanks to prosser's innate ability to 'get weird,' that it was definitely time for us to leave Communism behind, and head for arguably the greatest place on earth; Hong Kong!
