Hey everyone! Ya so I arrived here in Hong Kong on Saturday. I’ve been pretty busy with trying to settle in. It’s just how I remembered it and I am really hoping I can move here in the future. Anyways one thing that I am really disliking here in Hong Kong is the internet speeds. I’ve heard Asia in general i.e. Japan, South Korea has pretty good speeds. Well I don’t think this is the case with Hong Kong. Ever since I’ve got here Friday, it has been taking an unbelievable amount of time to just bring up a website. Once the page is up it is a little better. I’m not sure who the carrier is that I am using, but I guess it could be the DNS settings. I might try and change them to OpenDNS and see if that takes care of the problem. But my friends tell me the reason for the internet being slow is because in this particular area I am living temporarily in Hong Kong has probably close to a 100,000 if not more.

I have been taking pictures and I will be uploading some more on flickr, but until then I do have some pictures uploaded already! Please check them out if you want to! My flickr page is http://flickr.com/photos/brandonnc well thanks everyone and I’ll write again tomorrow!
