a report

I don't want to come home! Hong Kong is AMAZING!

So believe it or not, I'm actually bigger than most people here. I thought I would fit right in, which I do, but I'm a little bit bigger than the average Chinese woman here. Not just taller, but bigger. I tried something on today that was a LARGE and it was too small! Gee whiz! Most other things fit me just fine here.

The food is incredible. I love it all. It tried clams the other day and it wasn't my favorite, but I could get used to it. I have yet to try pig knuckles.

Everything is pretty inexpensive here. We traveled on the MTR (subway) today for almost an hour and quite the distance for only 75 cents. The transportation system here is great and super easy to follow.

The weather has been incredible. 75 and a slight breeze. It could not be more perfect.

We have been walking everywhere and every night my feet hurt. We get some rest every night and the next morning we do it again! My legs are looking pretty toned. :) Friday we're going to get massages. I'll need it!

We are having such a blast and I wish I could post pictures! I'll do it when I get home. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! So much about it is unique and I love just noticing all the small details. Travis is the best travel companion because he likes to do a lot, but also relax. We're both easy going and like to just stop and take it all in. I have never been to a cooler place in my life. But, I guess it all depends on the kind of place you like. I absolutely love traveling. I've been to Mexico (the caribbean side), Europe (Italy, France and Switzerland), and now Asia! Asia is by far my favorite. Everything about this place is incredible.

I LOVE HONG KONG!
