Market

My Aunt, Uncle and Cousin shop for their food at a Market. It is a bit different than a grocery store.



Me with the lady who sells chickens and other barbequed animals.



Me with the lady we bought broccoli from.

I have been eating lots of yummy food. Here are a few pictures of my favorites.

In China they have a big New Year celebration. They assign an animal to each year. 2009 is the year of the Bull.


Here I am in front of a store selling New Year's decorations. They love the color red!



Me with a dancing dragon. They like dragons here too!

Around Hong Kong

We spent a lot of time outside while in Hong Kong. The weather was much nicer there than in Guangzhou!


Here I am with some flamingos. This park had lots of birds, ducks, fish and other animals to look at.

Me on Nathan Road (a famous road in Hong Kong)

In front of St. John's Cathedral (built in 1847)


Ferry and the Peak in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a cool place. It is an island with lots and lots of really tall buildings. In addition to riding a train and a subway I got to ride on a ferry boat and a cable car.




I am looking across the water at Hong Kong island.



This was the ferry boat that I rode to Hong Kong island.



The Peak Tram is the cable car that we took to get to the top of Hong Kong island.


Me looking down on Hong Kong!

Going to Hong Kong

I got to go on an adventure to Hong Kong! We started in Guangzhou, China and two hours later we were in Hong Kong.


Me in the train station with all the people.


Handing my ticket to the ticket lady.


Me posing with the train stewardess.


When we got to Hong Kong we got off the train and got on the subway.

Around the neighborhood

January 15 - 17

Uncle Johnny, Aunt Monika and Cousin Owen took me out and about the last few days. They showed me their neighborhood and the University where Uncle Johnny is studying.


Family photo with the lion!



This is Sun Yat Sen University where Uncle Johnny is studying. Can you read the characters?




I had to be careful not to fall in and get mailed somewhere new!



Behind us is the apartment building where they live. It's 45 stories high, thankfully they live on the 5th floor.
