Celebratory Dinner

I officially have my HK driving license. So my friend Keena and I went out to SOHO for a lovely celebratory dinner. We ate at this Lebanese restaurant. The food was yummy!

SOHO

So SOHO is a famous European hangout in Hong Kong. Lots of amazing cuisine. It's ritzier, ambient dining.

Little Cart Guys

The way trash is hauled around HK is interesting. People push it on these little trollies. In China people have bicycles with a cart attached to carry garbage around from place to place.

Fruit and News

On Sunday I walked around Central and Wan Chai area. There are fruit stands and news stands everywhere. Check out the guy sleeping on the left at the news stand.

Banana Grams

For those who know me you know I have a thing for Bananas. To me they are the funniest thing. Ever since high school I have made banana jokes. My first car I named the Blue Banana. I was constantly drawing cartoons of Mr. Banana says. So I was so happy to discover Banana Grams. My Aunt Neah gave the game to me as a gift when I visited her in Kentucky.

I brought my good German violin with me to HK. I'm teaching some students who followed me from China on the weekends. They come down from China. I was quite surprised they wanted to do that, but grateful and touched.

My Apartment

Here are some pictures of my apartment. A friend came over and took pictures for me. Fun times just being silly. I love having a bathtub again. Peeps come visit if you can!!!

The Walled City

Here are some typical local Hong Kong shots near the area I live. Kowloon City is where the Walled City is and was. Back in the 70's there were many blocks of tight buildings together where there were alot of gangs and drug dealers. It was basically the ghetto. The Brittish government didn't even want to govern that area of Kowloon and left it to itself. God spoke to one woman's heart to come to Hong Kong and reach out to the people of the Walled City. Through her prayers and witness to the people of this city, people left their life of drugs and gangs. Today the Walled City is a beautiful park and a symbol of what once was and how one person can create change for the good.
