Conundrums Conundrums

So, today is my last full day in Hong Kong. I'm very much looking forward to finishing it all up. I'll likely end with a final post for the day and give a wrap up post. I managed to already make it out to the Jade Market and a famous temple here on the Kowloon side Hong Kong. Later today at 4pm, I have an appointment to learn proper tea manners. When I went to the tea shop to sign up, it was quite clear that this would be a different tea set than what I did in Singapore.

My major conundrum right now is that my plane leaves tomorrow at 10:45, which probably means I should leave here no later than 6:45. However, I don't have an alarm or anything of the sort. Typically, I wake up to the sun (which comes up around that time anyway); however, my hostel lacks a window, so my sleep cycle has become slightly more erratic. I've already asked about checking out earlier, and I ought to be able to swing something later tonight. Maybe the right thing to do is simply to stay up late (Party! Party! Party!), and sleep on the plane. Lord knows, I'm going to need some patience to have to wade through Nancy Pelosi territory. Anyway, I'll figure it out.

Finally, please do not be alarmed if it takes me a little longer than planned to get back to Virginia. I'm a United States citizen and plan on being treated appropriately through immigration. I bet you know what that means :).
