New Year!

Been in Hong Kong for a few days now and I think it's beautiful. The only place I have been in the world that is both a mountain and an island, and it literally blows my mind thinking about all the buildings and roads literally carved out of rock.
On Friday I went with Candy to the wet market and the lunar flower market and it was extraordinary. So many people in such a limited amount of space and they make it function. The flower market had not only flowers but food toys and even things like mops and steamers. Very cool place.
Yesterday we went for dim sum and it was amazing. I even ate the tofu, which wasn't anything like the tofu back home. It was really good. Thomas then went with me to the Peak where they have this mountain tram that takes you up. At the top there are a lot of things to do. You can walk the peak trail, shop, go to one of the restaurant, or they also have a Mme Tussauds wax museum. I really wanted to see the wax museum so Thomas agreed to go with me through it. It was really cool and I have tonnes of pictures from it. They had an Obama figure :D
After that we walked the peak a bit but I got distracted by some dogs..... So when we met up with Conrad we rewalked part of it so I saw Victoria harbor. Then he drove around the island a bit and showed me some of he others sites. Omg the roads are curvy. It was like going on a roller coaster. By the end of the hour drive I was feeling a bit queasy. And I should have kept it to myself. I told Thomas on the elovator ride up and he told his brothers. Victor and James found it amusing, very amusing.
I then helped make wontons. It was fun. They became part of what we ended up cooking during the hot pot dinner that they hosted. I met some of there church friends and cousins. It was fun. A big family dinner. I didn't eat much since I was still full from dim sum and my stomach was still a bit wonky from the drive.
It was fun watching after the meal had been finished how the boys went off and watched futball and the parents went into the other room and started singing and playing guitar. The one girl who came, Jessica, actually lives in Melbourne and goes to uni there. She was pretty cool and we talked a lot of the night. I still find it cool that they almost have British accents :)
Today I went for a walk near there house on this trail that a lot of people were jogging. I walked for about 2.5hrs and saw a dragon dance while over looking a square, and even the Manulife building :)
It had wonderful views but it's been very cloudy, so hard to see anything to far away.
