...covered our baby's eyes with a mask hoping that she wouldn't wake up (okay, so that was on the plane ride, but it was pretty funny!)
...eaten really yummy Mexican food! We seem to find a way to welcome ourselves to a foreign city by dining on Mexican food (we did the same thing in Madrid).
...figured out how to "live" in one hotel room with a baby who goes to sleep at 7pm.
...eaten at Subway 3 times in as many days (ah, glad we traveled to Asia to get our American food!).
...stumbled across an Anime convention! :) We went walking to find a grocery and visit the harbor and started seeing lots of people dressed in costumes. We were walking next to the convention center so we started to figure out that there was some kind of anime convention going on. Wow! We saw tons of people dressed as anime characters...many were having professional photo shoots by the harbor.
...thought that we ALL adjusted to the time change after 2 nights of normal sleep only to find out that Charlotte was tricking us. Last night after going to bed at her usual time, she decided to wake up when Brendan got to the hotel room an hour or so later and then stay up until 11:30pm! As I write this, I'm really hoping she doesn't do the same thing tonight.
...found out that Charlotte's new favorite toy is the hotel room telephone. Glad we didn't bring too many toys with us from Madrid!
...got some great views of Hong Kong from the harbor.
...spoken in English! After 6 months in Spain, this has been an adjustment but I'm going to enjoy it while we're here!
...met Brendan's work colleage, Voon, who Brendan used to work with a lot when he was an account manager with his company.
...enjoyed air conditioning once again!
...read the South China Morning Post.
...loaded up our wallets with Hong Kong Dollars...our third currency in a year. Oh, the math lesson this has been for my brain!
...wondered what in the world the street food vendors are REALLY selling!
...NOT eaten at McDonald's or Burger King...because there are so many other options and they are all open during normal dining hours! (Meal times in Spain are very different from the U.S. and the rest of the world.)
...thanked the Lord for a safe journey here and for his continued provision - financially, physically, & spiritually - as we step WAY out of our comfort zones!
