In front of the computer

I didn’t do jack squat today again. I was planning to do some things, but I didn’t. I talked to some friends today, which is a good thing. The most important thing I did today was get ready for my trip to Hong Kong. I have actually really started looking at prices and different travel agencies and such. I think it will be a bit harder to navigate around Hong Kong than it was any where else that I’ve been to before. I mean Hong Kong is just a cluster of islands and I have to figure out how that will all work to get to the places that I want to go to. So far, I don’t have many places that I would want to go to. I just want to go there and figure it all out.

I think it would be nice to go with someone though, so I think for my next trip, I will find someone to go with. I’m thinking about finding myself a girlfriend though, so I could go with her. I think that I should try. No regrets right. I don’t feel like I’m living my life to the fullest and I think that is why I’m feeling this way.

So the plan right now is to leave sometime this week and get back on the 29th or the morning of the 30th. I’m looking for a 5 day trip, which would be pretty nice. The first and last days are of course just transit, so that’s why I want a good 3 days of something to do on my own. One of those days I’m planning to spend in Macau and looking around there. That only leaves me with 2 full days in Hong Kong. I plan to spend it on Victoria Peak on one of those days and going to some temples. I’m not really into the whole shopping thing, but I guess that I will have to pick up some souvenirs. In all reality though, I’m not one bit closer to going than I was before. But at least I feel more prepared to go to the agency and just figure it out there.

I made my own dinner again tonight. It was good to cook again, but it wasn’t that hard and I think that I need to at least go out tomorrow to get more food. I have started to run out of things to eat and I need to purchase my tickets tomorrow for sure if I really want to go on this trip. I think that HIS is a pretty good bet since they don’t really take good care of their customers. I will have a lot of free time and I will have to pay an extra 10000 yen to get a trip to Macau. I’ll need to do more research though. There was a good one that was a week long, and included a trip to Singapore and Bangkok, but I’ve already been to Bangkok and I wouldn’t have much time to spend in Hong Kong, which is the purpose of me going on this trip. So that’s out of the question. I did want to go to Singapore and Malaysia, but I guess since I waited too long, both those are out of the question too.
