Visa or Callingcard?

I know i was all "next post Beijing" but, things come up. SO although i was in Beijing, the nice folks at the visa agency, decided what i really needed to do, instead of extending my current visa, was to go to Hong Kong and get an entirely new one. With one day to spare, mind you. And at the very beginning of Chinese golden week. So after a nice freak-the-hell-out damn-i'm staying-in-this-sweet-spot-now-i-gotta-bounce-all-the-damn-way-to-Hong Kong, i managed to procure a flight to Shenzen, which is just across the border, and slide on the ferry Cannonball Visa run style. Flying to HK takes a McGuff style bite outta my wallet, but it beats the three day train that leaves me three days overstay on my visa and at 85 bones a day, you best believe im gonna fly. But the visa is turned in and barring getting turned down, im meeting up with Don F Ford in the 2008 olympic construction site on Oct 5th.
Hong Kong exudes wealth through its pores, its like a green miasma that you can't help but take a whiff of and be all "mmm i wanna be mega rich wear a tux and drive a Rolls too." Im trying not to breathe too deep though. Its 2 dollar ferry rides for my entertainment. Did get that "Idlewild" soundtrack though, finally. Can't wait to catch the motion picture. Aight then, catch up with pics soon, back in Beijing on the 4th
