Hong Kong

Each month, Wes and I save one of our school income for travel. We just had the opportunity to travel to Hong Kong for a few days. We stayed at a great place that is a retreat for people working in China and around the world called the Bethany House. The weather in Hong Kong is much nicer than in our home city, Hengyang. It was about 50 degrees and sunny (most of the time)

One super fun thing about Hong Kong is being normal. Normal meaning you are not pointed at, stared at or screamed at "Foreigner Foreigner" We blended right in (almost) And maybe the greatest of all... Western Food. It was great to have American food!! I made a personal vow to only eat American while in the city. Wes LOVED having a hot dog (a real hot dog) with Chili and Mustard.

You can see Starbucks in the background... Yes we visited a few time... Caramel Macchiato and Mint Mocha put a BIG smile on my face. Subway, Pizza, Burgers, Salads, Cereal... the list goes on and on.

The retreat center had a home-cooked meal for us each night that we enjoyed with other believers. The first night we walk into dinner and saw some old friends :-) We had no idea they would be there... but two guys from our training class were also staying at the retreat.
The four of us went on a Big Bus Tour of the City and enjoyed exploring Hong Kong together.

Hong Kong has to be the richest city I have ever been too. We enjoyed buying American food... but that was the extent of our shopping. Louis Vuitton and Armani on almost every corner, I simply took pictures in amazement.

The first day we saw 4 Ferrari's ... I decided it would be fun to take pictures of the nice cars we came across... Here is the gallery

Hong Kong was beautiful and clean. It was a nice get-a-way from China.
Here are a few pictures of the us and the city.


We were welcomed back to Hengyang with a snow storm. Even the police were having fun making a snow man :-)
