so here i was in guangzhou, keeping all these plastic bottles to throw away at the train station, only when i got to the train station, i didn't see any recycling bins. no problem, i thought, i'll get rid of them in hong kong. fast forward to cosmic guesthouse. i discover from the woman behind the counter that, no, hong kong doesn't recycle its plastic bottles (or anything else, for that matter). all the trash just goes together in the same bin. whaat? hong kong, of all places. so the next morning i'm struggling to fit seven plastic bottles into my backpack, and Monkey was not pleased. i ended up sacrificing one of the bottles.
