Phew! What a busy few days this has been! Sorry to all of you who thought I was ignoring you...I just didn't have any internet in HK (and by no internet I mean they were making me pay and I didn't really wanna do that!) :) I have some good news and bad news.
Good News: I bought a new suitcase, Bad News: My new suitcase has bent wheels, but I am getting very buff carrying my stuff.
Good News: I got some new shoes, Bad News:
Good News: I saw some awesome sights, Bad News: My camera ran out of batteries, so I am not able to share them with you.
Good News: I am making some really good friends, Bad News (or good?): I got a hotel room to myself.
Good News: I had the most amazing Chinese dinner ever (still practicing with the chopsticks tho). Bad News: A reaction of crying and screaming when being served pigeon and then the boys consequently putting its head in their mouths only reiterates and solidifies the reputation that we Americans are obnoxious.
When we first got to HK the typhoon was still blowing over so there was a TON of rain. But we Seattlites come prepared:
While I was in Hong Kong I saw a Buddhist temple, visited babies in a Chinese orphanage (so adorable!), went to tone of the highest points and saw a view of the entire city, bought a watch for $3 US dollars
Bible Verse of the Day:
Romans 8: 19-21 "The creations waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay, and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God."
Chinese Word of the Day:
