If all goes as planned, I should be on my way to Hong Kong today for a ‘forced’ vacation. What I mean by that is, in order to apply for a China work visa, I must be outside of China when applying. So, my family and I will be spending about a week and a half in Hong Kong waiting on our work visas to be processed.
It’s a rough task, I know. 
Maybe I’ll need to research a few Starbucks, an Outback Steakhouse, or a TGI Fridays. Hmmm, I think I’m going to be busy!
I’ll be traveling to Hong Kong for a few days. I always appreciate any trip I make to Hong Kong because it is such a ripe location to observe cross-cultural interactions. 
On top of that, Hong Kong is a city that never sleeps – there is always something going on there. That is great for night owls like me!
