A Visitor!
Yes, I know I have been bad at updating this blog, but I keep reminding myself to update it. The problem is that I am always on the road and rarely get to a computer while also having enough time to log on here and update it with new pictures. My friend, Markie from the Chicago area was able to come two weeks ago and visit during a week I had off between travels. We were able to travel all over Hong Kong and see all the sights from Victoria's Peak, Stanley Market, the Ladies Market, my new apartment in TST, and also going to Macau to see the new casinos like the Venetian and also going on a bike ride around town (having a local Macau bike tour guide bike us around!) It was an extremely busy week but was relaxing also! I have about a month of severe travel from Shanghai to Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta to Cairo ahead of me, but work is going well and I am enjoying my new roomie that I have in Hong Kong! Pictured is a photo from Macau looking out onto the contrasting skyline of old and new with old homes and stores and the new casinos in the background!
