After  that we caught the subway into Kowloon. We are staying at the  Stanford Hotel. They are booked out for Saturday and Sunday, so we  were unable to get a room. It turns out the YMCA and several other  places I tried were also booked out. So I was worried all night about  where to stay.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">In the afternoon we wandered down to the ferry terminal and as the  sun set we took lots of photos. Prior to that we had to visit  Starbucks for a coffee fix for out New York and Canadian colleagues.  In the evening we had a dinner in a little HK style eating place. In  the evening we went to a local bar. After playing an American  drinking game we met some people from HK who have children living in  Melbourne and Pennant Hills. I left at this stage (2 AM), but the others stayed until 4 AM.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"mobile-post\">This morning I had a brain wave while having an early breakfast as I  could not sleep. I asked the hotel to book a room and we now have a  place around the corner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/300885950\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/99\/300885950_c32a0ab6e8_m.jpg\" alt=\"Night Lights\" height=\"160\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We arrived by train at shenzhen and crossed the border by foot.
