Hi everyone -
Another quick note since we're tired. It's been a long day. We fley from Siem Reap to Singapore and then had about a 4 hour layover before flying on to Hong Kong. We arrived at 7:30 pm, spent some time figuring out how to get into the city, and finally took the train into town. This city is BEAUTIFUL. Lots of lights, gorgeous harbor, and I don't think it ever sleeps. At 10:45 the stores were still open and there were lots of people out and about. We passed a swimming pool complex while on the train and there were tons of young kids there at like 9 pm. Guess since they don't go out in the sun evening is a big time for pools.
This stay in Hong Kong is a bit of re-entry for us. It's very western here and we're getting used to good air conditioning, trash cans, etc. etc. before returning home. :-)
Girls are doing OK. Kaley is a bit under the weather with a sore throat. I've started her on amoxicillen which is available over the counter here. Got to love that. Leanne is better but got carsick on the way to the hotel on the train. Poor kid.
Deb is teaching a class tomorrow at a hospital here in Hong Kong. She is a nurse working with a company that is at the forefront of medical records technology. The rest of us will probably do some shopping since many people believe that Hong Kong is the retail center of the world.
I promise that tomorrow I'll get some photos posted and start to do some wrap up reflections. We've got two days for sightseeing and then that long plane ride home. Yuck.
Hope all is well -
Hugs -
