Hong Kong Highlights

Our family spent a weekend in Hong Kong. Here are some of my highlights:

Yummy mochi
10. Trying out random things, like a tea that tasted really bad but the next time I tried a mango shake that was really good! The mochi was really good too. I went back for it the next day. Plus you can buy bubble tea/milk tea almost anywhere.

9. Our hotel--even if we didn't spend much time there. It was really nice!

8. The random restaurant in Mong Kok that had good but cheap food. It was hard to explain your order and talk in Chin-lish but if you want to eat, you just have to try.

Kowloon
7. Walking down Canton Road, Nathan Road, and being able to stop and shop at will. Papa showing us around and being our tour guide.

6. Mama haggling for me so I only have to pay half of what they were asking. Shopping, shopping, shopping.

5. Hong Kong Disneyland! The day was hot and there were too many people, but we all had fun :-)



4. Angela met Rapunzel. And we think it made her trip!

At Mong Kok--Angela didn't want to have her picture anymore
3. The dim sum restaurant we discovered, thanks to our hotel concierge. I love looking for restaurants locals enjoy. We were the only ones there who spoke in English, and I really enjoyed their shrimp siu mai.

2. Coming home with money left over. And I got to buy what I wanted. Woohoo!

1. Being with family! It was the first time Papa, Mama, Bhaya, Melody and Angela were together in one trip out of the country. We sure missed our Nashville family. Of course we won't forget how Papa almost didn't make it to the plane, how we strategized getting into our shuttles every day . . . Fun stuff! I'm thankful for family :-)
