Kristine and I are in LOVE with Hong
Kong!!! EVERYTHING is so cute and we are suckers for aesthetics.
We don’t have to window shop because we just stare at the women passing by, our
pitch increases whenever children are near. Our viliage is so calm and
wonderful to come back to. And the Ramen here is spicy. I’m packing a
suitcase-ful to bring home! Here are some snapshots of our adventures (the internet is in chinese over here and I can' figure out how to rotate the pics so bear with me haha.....
Everything in Hong Kong
is so Cute. This is an upper end coffee shop on the Island
side, where all the westerners live. We had a personal British guide from
church take us to the Island hot spots (in
blue). Hong Kong is a tight-knit community for
westerners and they all have dream jobs and posh social lives- a fun idea.
We had Dim Sum in
China for lunch. So cute!!! Comes
in little bamboo baskets. Our
Hong Kong friend
Christy helped us pick out things. Lots of Dumplings with meats and veggies-
most similar to pot stickers, only jucier and more flavorful. So Yum!
waiting in the hectic line for
Victoria Peak
This is right next to the IFC tower (2nd tallest in Hong Kong with claws at the top) Huge skyscraper with
mall below with Korean guys playing jazz. Inside, white marble floors echo
voices as everything seems to sparkle. On the deck here above, are tons of chic
bars and couches where the “cool” kids hang out.
Irish Coffee!!!! Everything here is so stinking adorable!!!!
Fun coffee shop
Japanese style food (which is apparently very trendy right
now in hk)- you pick your own raw veggies and meat and cook them in the pot. It
took us 90 minutes to eat and with chopsticks is one of the most frustrating
meals I’ve ever experienced, but the cooking time left moments for Kristine and
I to connect with our new church friends who soooo welcomed us and took us out
to eat. They love that we are from
San
Diego and want us to move here. They are from all over
Singapore,
Indonesia and other parts of
Asia.
We will be going to church with them every Sunday at C3 and seeing some of them
throughout the week
J yay, hk friends!!!
Ladies market- 20 blocks of mom and pop stands with
everything you could possibly imagine, very local.
The peak is AMAZING!!! Breathtaking. You feel like you are
on top of the world and you can see the entire city. Incredibly romantic. It
wouldn’t be hk if there also wasn’t a mall attached. Kristine and I jammed out
to Brittany Spears in the bookstore and met the cutest girl named Kelsey in a
souvenier shop. She was 8 and far better dressed and polished with curly hair
and shiny shoes. She made us look like bums. All the asian children here are
sooooooooooo cute!!!!
Every Sunday the entire Filipino population lines the
streets of saks ffifth, Armani, Prada ect and trade clothes, exchange food, and
just sit on the side of the street for hours, def some staged Gangnam style
dancing to PSY happening #mademyday
All the Chinese wash their chopsticks, bowls and cups in the
tea before using them- a fun little custom before teatime
Absolutely beautiful. The picture cannot do justice to the moment
