Ohh ya!



Our first official day in hong kong was fun, but long! We can't STAND how humid it is here. It is seriously gross. We shower and then its useless. We started out the day with a 5 hour tour around the city with our tour guide, Mathew. What a guy... We saw the hong kong temple, it was beautiful! It's crazy how the temple can be right in the middle of everything. We are very excited cause tomorrow we get to do baptisms there. Then we went to Victoria Peak and saw the view of the city and Victoria Harbor. It was a really crazy little road and the drivers are scary. Here they drive on the left side so its different. oh ya, and we saw Jacki Chan's house. I guess he's pretty famous over here:) After that we went to the fisherman's harbor, where we got to ride in a boat taxi. It was really smelly, and there were lots of boats. Then we checked out the market. We bought some cute skirts:) After the long tour, we rested, then went to the Ladies Market. There were so so many people. It was nuts. Still working on the bargaining... it was hard at first- but we'll get the hang of it soon. Em got a new yellow watch and Kayla got some shoes. After a very long day it decided to rain on us. Rain= HARD! It was crazy- we've never seen so much lightning and thunder before- we thought we were going to die pretty much! It was a fun day and it was very interesting seeing all of the sites around "Hong Kong" It was weird to see how people live. We can say that we are grateful for what we have at home. We have so much more to come and can't wait!
