A Day of Firsts.

PTL, we got a great nights sleep and the pillows and bed are quite comfortable. We left, what we are now going to start referring to as home, at around 9 am this morning with a fellow Ex-patriot, Elizabeth,  from the US for breakfast. To her credit, she tried to take us take us to a Chinese restaurant, but we were soooo hungry by that point we wanted something familiar and in English. Good old McDonalds. :) Pancakes, sausage, eggs, english muffins, hashbrowns, and the smallest size OJ's you've ever seen (about the size of Junior Frostys or smaller [I know that's a different fast food joint]). We then met up with two other VF Asia workers, Tara (another Ex-pat from US), and Sean (from Malasia, speaks Chinese). We walked around alot of Kowloon/Harbour City. The natives call it "high priced city." We toured a couple of outdoor parks, several malls, the fresh market, the Ladies Market (Flea market style, not just for ladies), the grocery store called City's Super, and a wonderful Thai restaurant for lunch. That about sums up our first day. Oh, we also got a bit of a nap to hold us over til bed time. We also got to Skype with the Long family this evening. We will miss worshipping with our TCF church family tomorrow. We also miss our family and friends. The Lord has really blessed us with an awesome place to live for the next few months. It's midnight here now. I better get some sleep if we plan on trying to navigate the train system tomorrow for church. The MTR train system is a whole nother post. Night.

  1. So glad you made it safely. Thinking of all of you. John and I saw an HGTV show on a family from the states looking for a home in Hong Kong. It was neat to see what the high rises were like, etc. It gave us a small peek of what it would be like for all of you. Hope all is well. We miss Kaylin at co-op. Rachel's class seems small without her. :)
