Well stupid me forgot my USB cable to transfer pictures to my computer. I'll update later tonight with pictures but for those interested, here is my post for Wednesday:
Sorry all, this post is clearly very late. Today was primarily a day of traveling. The father and co-workers had to finish up some work and I spent my morning having a cup of coffee. Pictured below is the father with the other R&D dudes.

We then proceeded to the airport by China’s super-fast train, the Maglev. During the day, this train hits 430km/h, which is about 267 miles per hour. Crazy fast.

The rest of the day was spent sitting on the airplane or in lines, endless lines... Although the flight was only two hours, from the time we left our Hotel in Shanghai to when we checked into our hotel in Hong Kong, the entire journey took about 8 hours. I would guess that of those 8 hours, three were spent in lines, be it customs or waiting to get a taxi. Needless to say, I was exhausted by the time we reached our destination.
The Hong Kong Airport
Tired and hungry we decided to walk around a bit to find a quick bite to eat. The big area outside our hotel looked like a fun place to explore. None of us being able to think clearly, we decided to just grab a bite back at the hotel. Hooray for a burger in Hong Kong.
Really cool street right outside our hotel.
Sorry this post wasn’t nearly as exciting as previous posts, but things should pick up again when we reach Vietnam. Until then, see ya.
