On my first trip to Hong Kong, they didn’t have our hotel room so they upgraded us to a multi room suite with 1 and 1/2 baths. The main bath was three times the size of Grandma & Grandpa’s bathroom. This was 10 years ago. We had just left Shanghai, where there were brown outs, very few people who spoke English, the hotel pool was cracked and under repair, and the room in this “luxurious” Western style hotel was as small as a cracker box with a closet the size of a small broom closet. We were on a three week business trip and no place to store anything. But it was a nice adventure. We got to tour the Shanghhai zoo in a limo. Yes we went on the sidewalks and down the stairs in a limo. Enjoy Hong Kong and the extra perks. Make sure you go to Stanley Market If you have any room for souveneirs this is the place to go. Even I can get there by myself by bus. I am sure you will take a trip to the top of Victoria Peak. The view of the harbor is spectacular. There are hiking trails up there that I haven’t been on. You pass the American consul’s home on the funicular on the way up. It is the large white house hanging off the cliff on the right. We went to a party there many years ago. it was neat to see a piece of America. Be sure to watch the laser light show. It is new since I was there the last time. Uncle Roy says it is spectacular. I am glad to hear that Seoul’s airport is nice. Uncle Roy and I are leaving for Hong Kong on Saturday by way of Seoul’s airport. On the way back we will stay in Seoul. I am glad you survived the train in Russia. Uncle Roy and I got detained by the transportation police on a train from Wuxi to Shanghai. Liquor was not involved. They didn’t like our visas. I though for sure we were headed to a Chinese prison. We met a bunch of young Chinese who were very interested in practicing their English. That more than made up for it. We enjoy hearing about your adventures and look forward to seeing the pictures. Aunt Anita PS Chrissy got tied up in Bangkok for an extra few days and will not be heading onto Tailand.
