Hong Kong!

Yesterday we arrived in Hong Kong after a long night on the plane. Being in Hong Kong is so exciting ! Hong Kong is so upbeat and alive. We got here around noon and found our apartment.  Our family is here for three days before more relatives arrive, so we are the only ones in the apartment now.  Even though there's just four of us in the apartment, it seems small and cramped.  Space in Hong Kong is limited, and when everyone else arrives, it'll be hard to fit nine people in this apartment.  One of the rooms is basically just a bed without any other space.  

The weather here is pretty uncomfortable.  It's humid and hot like New York in the summer. Compared to South Africa and the dry weather that we had, the humidity takes some getting used to.

After we had unpacked in the apartment, we set off for a walk.  We took a small historic walk in the neighborhood. The walk was guided by just our Ipad, but still interesting. After the walk and a stop to go to the squat toilet, we went to a small place for bubble tea.  I got a milk tea with tapioca balls, which was very good.  

Today we woke up at ten and left the apartment at eleven.  We had a brunch of dumpling and noodle soups at a small restaurant. The dumpling soup that I had was tasty and filling.  After that, we walked over to the mall and did our summer clothes shopping. When we were in Chile, we tried to get summer clothes, but it was out of season there. It was great to finally get that out of the way. When we were done with that, everyone was pretty tired.  We went to a small place for lunch close to home.  Now,  I'm writing this blogpost on the computer while drinking my bubble tea.
