How the Other Half Lives

Well we struck out this morning around 9am to tour Hong Kong on our own. I think we are in New York City. Not that I have ever been to New York, but at least what NY looks like on TV. Let's see the stores we walked passed today included Armani, Gucci, Coach, Rolex, Louis Vutton, etc etc. I probably didn't even spell some of those right since they aren't located at my local thrift store ;) Needless to say this isn't China!

We did have a good day checking out the city and we met up with our guide Jophy at 2:30. She took us to the highest point in HK to see the city from above. Unfortunately I forgot my camera for that trip. We rode the ferry and the famous MRT (HK Marta Train) and have walked all over the city. These are the few pics from the day. The weird M coffee thing was a McDs cappuccino Sheila ordered-coffee pudding was a better description. We ate at McDs for breakfast and KFC for lunch, Starbucks and McDs for snacks-Caleb is happy!

Tomorrow we are going to Disneyland!! Thanks for all the great comments. It is good to hear you guys are out there "watching" over us. Only 3 more sleeps to our baby girl. Shelby keeps saying she is ready to go to China to get Faith-too sweet. Let's just hope she still thinks this way in about 5 days ;)

Good morning from GA! Ally is about to wake up. Great to hear from you all. I can't wait to hear/see about Disney China version. That will be so much fun! Wonder if Mickey has Asian eyes!!!! Glad you found McD's - that will make anyone feel at home. So is HK decorated for Christmas? Please tell Jophy hello for us - we may cross her path in a few weeks!

Okay, don't go read my post today then if you are worried about Shelby 5 days from now. The truth hurts sometimes!! But misery loves company, right? Can't wait to hear about Disneyland and your first post with Faith!

Unknown said...

Glad you made it safely! Can't believe you are there already again! I was hoping to stow away in your suitcase so I could get Claire!

Blessings to you as you get closer and closer to being united with Faith!
