For those of you keeping score at home, please note that my blog entries have very few pictures and most are low quality taken with my iPhone. By contrast, Amy's most recent post had 26 hi-res photos taken with one of her twelve lenses and color-corrected before posting. This is the story of my life. I've been to Asia eleven times in five years and have less than a few dozen pictures to document all of those experiences. Amy has been here two days and National Geographic is starting a new archive to store her photos. I am grateful to her over the years taking all these photographs and am committed to making sure she appears in at least 7% of the ones we snap here in Hong Kong!
Last night we had a wonderful dinner at the Hong Kong Jockey Club with the Youngs - their son is a junior at Gould. Mr. Young and I have spent some time together over the last few years and it was like being with old friends. I am always amazed at how much it feels like coming home when I am in Asia. Mr. Young likes to call me his little brother and Mrs. Young has decided that I should have a Chinese name and suggested "no hair.". I guess that joke is universal.
This is my first time spending more than one or two nights in Hong Kong and we are really getting a sense for the city. Today we are off to explore Kowloon - the mainland peninsula - and Amy swears she will buy a cashmere sweater no matter what. Amy's new Chinese name, "Shops with a Fist."
Good to see you made it over there safely and are out enjoying the sights. Hong Kong is an amazing city. Have fun "no hair" and "shops like a fist" or whatever your name is!
