The hotel is very cush. The first thing I did was to run a bath and jump in! It is amazing how dirty you feel after sitting on a plane for nearly 19 hours! I wanted to sleep more than anything, but I forced myself to go on an adventure. I hailed a cab and took my tired stiff jet-lagged body to a 500 acre Botanical Gardens! What was I thinking?
It is more humid here than you can imagine! And at temps of nearly 90 degrees Fahenhiet, stolling along to look at all the trees, plants and Orchids (tons and tons of orchids) proved to be quite a challenge! I walked through the grounds sweating from every pore of my body for about 3 hours.
I could barely keep my eyes open, so I went back to the hotel and took a 4 hour snooze, I could have used a full 12! But, I didn't want to miss the light up celebration that kicks off the Chinese New Year Celebration in China town.

But, I didn't want to miss the light up celebration that kicks off the Chinese New Year Celebration in China town. I'm really glad I did that, China town was great. It was packed with people and hundreds upon hundreds of stores lining the narrow streets. Colored Paper lanterns were hung every where. I have a few videos of the fire-works and a fake dancing china-man...I'll try to figure out how to post them. Later.
