UPDATE JUNIOR

It is official, Emily will be leaving me on this Chinese adventure

and goes back to American at the beginning of July, …

There was a possibility of me leaving in August, but i signed a new contract with another company, and its a really great career opportunity so we have decided that it is best for us both for she to leave in July to be in America during the teacher ‘hiring season’, and for me to stay till next April or May to get some good experience on my resume’ before returning to the US

Chinaland is gonna be strange without her…

in other news hopefully ill get the motivation to post pictures from the last 4 months… we’ll see…..

So we went to Disneyland while in Hong Kong, and it was pretty magical. Much smaller than Disney World in Orlando of course, but still fun, with lots of shows, fried chicken, and mickey mouse shaped ice cream. Apparently that’s all you need to make either of us happy. The lines wernt too bad and the weather was AMAZING, nearly 80 degrees in December, we could not have picked a better day to go.

the snow machines started at nightfall on main-street and it fake snowed the rest of the night, and that was pretty cool. By chance we were able to catch the Parade from the beginning and it was so cute and fun.

After staying for the nightly fireworks extravaganza, we boarded the special Disney Sunny Bay metro train back to reality.

needless to say after a day of walking around.. and eating and riding rides, and seeing shows… .. it was not hard to fall asleep on this night.

Hong Kong, flower market (set 4 of 4)

No decent Chinese city is complete without a bird and flower market

there were so many flower shops with many different kinds of beautiful flowers and some unique flowers we had never seen before.

In Hong Kong they also have a decent pet market, Shanghai has a pet market, but its just alot more sad… the stores in HK were not that much different than a western style pet store, that sells pet supplies and also pets…
