We have this whole week off from school for a Chinese Holiday so we took Jonny and Nicole to Hong Kong. Rachel stayed home with Vika since she couldn't walk around very well. We took a ferry across the bay to the Central District in Hong Kong. This was one of the highlights of the day for the kids.
On our way we passed this suspension bridge that is under construction. It's amazing how these things are built. They start on each side and built out over the water until they meet. This was probably about 300 feet above the water.
This is the ferry terminal in Hong Kong. These boats are just lined up letting people off and on. Once we were let off the boat we had to go through customs to get into Hong Kong. This terminal was huge.
Here we are on land again. It was a hazy day so you can't see the skyline behind us very well.

how exciting to go wandering in a city where everything is in a different language! Have you picked any of it up yet?? Looks like a fun day
The nice thing about Hong Kong is that almost everything is in English, so it's easy to get around. What's more remarkable is that we are picking up the language (Mandarin). The first month I knew absolutely nothing, but then you start to recognize words and then you can put things together. For example, when I go play basketball, a guy will hit me really hard and then say "gua!". I figured out that it means "foul". Slowly you pick up a few words here and there and then you can start to put things together.
