After trekking a little ways through no man's land we made it to the Hong Kong customs. We each took our turn getting through customs and then headed into the subway station in Hong Kong. We got a type of card known as an Octopus card and used our card to purchase subway tickets and drug our suitcases onto the subway and made it down a couple of stops only to realize that the initial subway station was where we needed to be so we hopped back on the subway going the other direction and got off at the station we had started at. Once we got back we made our way to another train that transported us across the way to the proper location in Hong Kong where we would be staying.
Once we were on the train we relaxed for a little bit after being so exhausted from the trek across the border. After awhile when our train journey was near its end we gathered our belongings and got ready to get off of the train. Once we got off the subway train we searched our way to the exit we needed. We were somewhat lost and eventually Lorilei found a kind lady who guided us in the right direction to the Chungking mansions to get to our hostels. Once we got up the steps we dropped Ashley, Katie, and Dayna off at their block to head up to their hostel while we continued on to our hostel which was on a different block. We got all checked in at our hostel and freshened up then headed back down to meet the other girls. We had to wait for awhile as they weren't ready yet. Once they got their they told us stories of their technicalities and we headed to dinner. As it had been a long day we headed to TGI fridays and grabbed a bite to eat, enjoying the food and the time we had together.
