[singlepic=1286,200,,,right]Lost in Transition – Tokyo
This is it – the last stop before I hit the US, one last hurrah – and I chose to do it completely on my own…solo…what I want to do, when I want to do it. No tour company, no friends, no sister, no travel book….just me, with a camera, an internet connection and an immense amount of patience.

I had 4 days in Hong Kong, I felt that would be plenty to see the sites, after all – it’s just a big city – and I’ve been to big cities before. Cyndi has a large web of expat friends strewn across Asia – so we were able to call upon one of them, Lynn and Lee, in Hong Kong and luckily stay with a ‘local’. Any time I have an opportunity to stay with someone that lives in a country I’m visiting, I snap it up.
