back in Hong Kong

We're back in Hong Kong now. We had only slept 3 hours the night before in Korea (went to sleep at 1:30 a.m. and woke up at 4:30 a.m. to catch our flight) so after arriving in Hong Kong, we had a 5 hour nap! Then we went out to eat. The food here is so good! We really need to diet when we get back home! We had sushi. I had never seen this kind of sushi restaurant before, but apparently they're popular in Japan. The different sushis, etc., keep moving around in front of you on this circular conveyer belt thing. It's really fun. You just pick off what you want as it passes around in front of you. We enjoyed the surf clam and salmon and deep fried prawn sushi. I had a tiramisu dessert after - that was really good too! After sushi, we hit the night market which is always a lot of fun. We've accumulated a lot of stuff! Thankfully we only have to pack it all 1 more time!
Today we had dim sum. I love shrimp dumplings - so yummy! We then went to the Hong Kong Museum of history (for 4 hours!). It was kind of interesting (for me) and Bill really loves his museums. I found it interesting on the parts about the folk culture in the Hong Kong area, the junk boats (where people lived solely on boats and they were a whole people group in and of themselves) and the more recent history of Hong Kong (with the British, Japanese occupation, typhoons, water shortages, etc.). There was this picture of this car pile up that was just crazy (I think it was from a typhoon or mudslide) - must have been 50 cars or something.
2 more sleeps til home! Yeh!
