I’ve been in Hong Kong for the last few days… which is the exact polar opposite of Huizho. It is a beautiful city, accessible to foreigners (of which I see many more of [Actually, “”more”foreigners isn’t correct as that implies that I saw any while I was deeper in China.]), with plenty to see and do.

It is also expensive, as the small room I have for HK$2000/night attests (about US$260). While in Huizho, I stayed in a 5-star hotel for 3 nights for all of something like US$250. The room I’m in now has… character.
