Exploring Hong Kong Through Running

Well, I'm a bit hesitant to make this post in thoughts of making another false promise. Hopefully this is chapter 1 of many, but we'll just see how it goes.

Tonight, for some odd reason, I decided to go on a run. I think it was just to take a nice break from studying for exams. This was my first run since I went to Korea, so it's been close to three months since I've last ran. Unofficial duration is about 35 minutes based off my last text message sent and my time of returning.

I hope to go on runs through some more interesting parts of the city and region, but I think I'll need to work on stamina a bit more first. Today's run took me through the Science Park of Hong Kong. It is about 10 minutes away if you run down the back road here at Student Hostel 2. I've actually never been to the Science Park here, but it has a really nice location right next to the water. While running towards there, I got to cross over the metro system and a major highway as well as running along a very poorly lit road.

One of the strangest things I encountered on my run was having to look the opposite way while crossing the road. I've gotten used to doing it while walking, but it just seemed strange since whenever I used to run it was always cars driving on the right side instead of the left.

Since I'm a bit out of shape, my run through the Science Park was very brief. From my view, it looked very much like an office park like you would find in the U.S. This is all for now. More to come while I can; however, I will be on hiatus pretty much all of May. Hope everyone had a great Easter!
