Tired of learning TWO days in a row? Well today is your day then.
What's This? I don't know, but I like it!
Sok Kwu Wan Walk

Numbers!
Want to know something so fun?
Hand signals in China are way cooler than in America!* I’m going to give you a little lesson. I’m clearly just learning all of this, so maybe you can learn along with me.**
How much is it?
I’m desperately lost when attempting to communicate. (Albeit I need to be patient with myself, as I’ve been here only days.)
I’m working very very slowly on learning Cantonese and thought maybe on Mondays we can do a useful word or phrase that I’ve learned. I’m going to call it “Mumbling Monday” because that’s mostly all I do. Truthfully, I just wanted to make a new theme and that was what makes the most sense. You in? Let’s do this!

Wow, Hong Kong, you’re awesome!
Yesterday my new pal took me into the city for a look around. It was astounding, awe-inspiring, wonderful, overwhelming…basically sensory over load (in a good way).
These buildings have holes in them! I need to investigate.
Dragon Fruit
I realized today was Friday, which means that I lost a day. Even though it’s Thursday night for all you Americans… It’s Friday morning here. So I’m going to start doing my ‘weeklies’ on the day that makes sense for me.
Hence, Happy Aloha Friday!
My new pals (well, they are Rob’s friends that I have begun to commandeer) brought by heaps of really nice gifts, including Dragon Fruit! It reminded me of Hawaii and how much I love island fruit.
To enjoy, just slice in half and dig in! To me, it tastes a bit like a cucumber/melon/kiwi but less sweet.
Mmm refreshing Dragon Fruit
Welcome to Lamma Island
After 72 hours of travel, and another late plane, I’ve arrived on Lamma Island. Sorry for the delay, I could have written all day, but I just turned my computer on.
No surprise to anyone, but I blew the fuses to the apartment within 10 minutes of being left alone in the apartment. Of course. So, that giant iPod/radio/alarm clock that I lugged across the world is now fried.
I’ve got a tad bit of the jet lag, so I’m going to nap and come back when my head doesn’t feel like it’s spun off.
For now, enjoy this lovely picture of our beach. I can see this from our apartment.
Cloudy, but still beautiful
