Our ‘package’ was ferried safely over the Shenzhen-Hong Kong border today. The crossing was a bit surreal, and there was another health check (asking for your whereabouts for the next 7 days and a hands-off temperature check with some sort of infrared [I imagine] gun).
The crossing itself is a combination subway station / pedestrian bridge / mall. It was all rather fascinating, but we mainly concentrated on making sure we didn’t lose our companions. I would have loved to have taken photos, but the signage was pretty clear that photography is forbidden. To make up for it, our hotel has a School of Lomography immediately across the street.
We got briefly lost between the subway and the hotel. Nothing a 3USD cab ride couldn’t fix. Although SXC did not seem too pleased with my navigation skills. Granted–it was hot and sticky.
