I am now in Hong Kong, a big, modern, commercial city. I got here yesterday and had dinner at McDonalds; it was great!!! My stomach is still upset from the food in Nepal, I was constipated there and then had diarrhea, back and forth.

It is nice to be in a modern place after Nepal, but now that I am not there I kind of miss it. The people were really friendly.

I met another traveler in the airport. He lives, studies and works in Taiwan, just like I want to do. I went with him to get my visa this morning and we are rooming together. He is from Canada near Toronto. I also found out that American passport holders have the best visa to Taiwan, not like Hong Kong where the best visas are for those in the Commonwealth (England, Canada, Australia, etc.)

I am thinking of buying the Sega hand system which I can eventually sell and make money.

I met a gentleman name Jack Wong yesterday evening and today. He told me that he has work for me, traveling and working earning $100/day plus the airplane tickets. It sounds great and I hope that he is for real, not a con man or something else bad like that. He says that he will be in Taiwan in July, so I’ll see soon enough. He flies back to USA this evening.
