Yeah, We live here!

From the backside of the island durning the day........
to the peak at night..............





This last week we have been living in extremes. It started off unbelievably beautiful and clear. It has been raining everyday for the last three weeks and to see blue sky was wonderful. Then yesterday we were smashed with a typhoon. It got me thinking about how much we love this city and how much we are going to miss it. We are excited to come home and each day that brings us closer to our departure makes us even more anxious, but it will be hard to leave Hong Kong. We'll miss our guards at our apartment complex, the old guy who walks around our neighborhood yelling, "Thank You!" every time he sees us, Mrs. Seh the laundry lady,(she tries to carry the laundry up for Cassie but is just as limited with her old age as Cassie is with the baby.) We'll miss the pineapple buns, and the little noodle place that we go to even though we find weird things in our noodles sometimes, but they just keep calling us back. We wont miss the taxi drivers always thinking we want a ride just because we're white, or the crazy bus drivers we entrust our lives with. I look forward to watching a Jazz game instead of listening to Hot-Rod Hundly while I read the play by play on ESPN.com. I could go on, but both of us are just happy that we have the time left that we do to live it up here in Hong Kong.

I'm impressed--2 posts in a week! You gotta love the craziness of Hong Kong. Although I must say I'm enjoying the peacefulness of Provo!
