The Peak




Tonight we headed up to The Peak to
look over downtown Hong Kong at night, we actually had dinner The Peak Resturant and watched the laser show from above....quite interesting! There was also a wax museum that we stopped by at The Peak. After dinner (we ate sea creatures) we headed back down the tram (backwards) and then took what we would call a subway back to around where our hotel is located. Looks like tomorrow I will be spending some time with students while they visit the Ladies Market and possibly will be with them when they are going down Avenue of Stars (a series of floor plaques to pay tribute to eminent Hong Kong Fim wokers, located on the waterfront), will also possibly be seeing the Symphony of Lights Show (that I watched from the air tonight), and could also be going to the Temple Street Night Market. It seems like every day is packed with a million things to do I can honestly say after just a few short days here in Hong Kong that we have immersed ourselves in the culture the best any outsider could. Right now it is a little after 11:00 PM here in Hong Kong....everyone back in the US is (should be) at Easter Services....maybe Bob will get everyone out by 12:00 today! (our preacher in Hong Kong sure didn't) To the Family...enjoy that food, and be glad you dont have to smell soy sauce all day and night and also be glad that you dont have to people that you dont know in your personal space everytime you go out in public (living in Scott County is not so bad after all!). Before we ate tonight they had an exhibit of bunny rabbits outside of the resturant, that is the picture below (I am not sure if they were later to be eaten or not). If you ever wonder who in the world eats animals rather that cows, pigs, and chickens...its the Asian world, I dont think they have met a food they find nasty! Any way, Happy Easter to all, Nanny don't let Emily and Michael eat all of my Peeps! Take Care-DTW

Hey DT,

We are all here at Aunt Roxana's house. The food was great. Roxana, Asa, Olivia, Caper, mom, dad, the Overall's, Nanny, Podge, Emily and Justin (Emily's friend) Ryan and Elly, Jennifer, Scott, Thomas, Enelio, Michael, Malachi, and myself are all enjoying the time together. We are getting ready to start hunting the Easter eggs that your mom put together for Michael and Thomas. I hope you are enjoying yourself over there. All your pictures are great. It is really cold here, so we are doing the hunt inside the house. What chaos. I will be looking forward to hearing about your trip and seeing pictures when you get back. ~Sarah
