To China and back...


A big surprise came to me today when I went to apply for my Hong Kong ID card, turns out the immigration officer who stamped me in DID NOT place a stamp on my work permit!!! I was unable to apply for a HKID without it, so what did I have to do??? yup, go to China! I quickly called up a buddy of mine and he told me that it'll take about 2 hours to go to China a back, then off I went!!!

6 subways, $15 USD, 300 foot steps, and 2.5 hours later I was back at the Immigration building in Wan Chai with my freshly stamped permit and now I've got my HKID!!! I had wanted to buy some snacks in China while I was there, but since I was on such a short time crunch, I decided to only step into China's soil for a brief moment... but that brief moment made me fear for my life!!! why is it that I don't feel safe going into China by myself??? hmmmmm

Attached is a picture of what it should look like. Don't mind what's on the top right corner, those are from me going in and out of China.
