Ok, I know we live in a small world because of technology...but as I write this blog, I am riding a jet ferry boat from Hong Kong to Macau in total darkness on Friday night (China time)...this, after e-mailing family and co-workers like I was sitting in Beachwood...it's still incredible.
While the guys practiced today, the wives and members of the Cavs family spent the day in Hong Kong...we took a tram to the top of a mountain overlooking this city...and it was breath taking....if you've ever stood high above Pittsburgh from Mt. Washington, looking at the three rivers, it's that view on steroids.
Hong Kong is definitely more westernized of course, with every imaginable store and restaurant...but there are people everywhere...given its population and small area, it would be like placing two million people into Hudson.
Cars are a luxury not a necessity here...because gas is eight dollars a gallon (US) and because parking is so expensive, it costs about $1500 a month to operate and maintain a car...so, trains, busses, taxis and bicycles do the trick.
They also follow the NBA here....we gave one young fan a Cavs pin...you would have thought we handed him a $100 bill...he said "you know LeBron James??? I'm going to see him tomorrow"...He then skipped on to the boat to Macau.
We do live in a tiny world.
Tune in tonight at 12:30 a.m. (just past midnight, Cleveland time) on the Cavs radio network for Cavs and Magic.
