| Nathan Road... Take me there... |
I remember crossing a few intersections, entering and coming out of a few subways; and walking a couple of blocks but none of these seem to get me anywhere near Tsim Sha Tsui. The road names have changed as I continued walking and I started to get a little weary when I realized how they remained unfamiliar and not sounding any close to Nathan Rd. or Tsim Sha Tsui.

| 7/11. I'm so glad to see you... |

| I know I quit smoking but these two kept me warm and company while lost in Kowloon. |
 |
| Coke and Coffee... Always does the trick. |
Having updated my Facebook status to indicate my intent to head to Kowloon, I was very happy to find a comment from a previous colleague about them being in HK at the same time. And luck seems to start pouring in when I saw a 7-11 store in Austin Road. I started to get some help from my friend who were also then in HK for a vacation via social networking. An hour later after our comment exchanges in facebook, they arrived with a map that will soon be my guide while I am in the Chinese territory. While waiting for them I have managed to smoke a few sticks, chatted with a 7-11 customer, and painfully attempted to get directions from the Chinese lady in 7-11 which really kind of turned out to be a waste of time due to language barrier.

| Thanks to roaming access and social networking. Friends are coming to the rescue. |
After an hour of briefing on which way to go, which trains and exits to take, they took me to a Mc Café where I spent an hour of cat napping before heading to China Ferry Terminal in Macau. In between I spent my time observing Chinese nationals having their after party meals still dressed in Mc Queen’s and limping in their high stilettos...

| Thanks Jelai and Issa for helping me out... |
Fast forward... I found myself on the first ferry out of HongKong to Macau at 7AM the same day.
