Here and There

So our last couple weeks here in Hong Kong, we have been busy getting applications ready to send out for jobs for next year and Calvin has been getting ready for his tests, he's also had the opportunity to go meet with a few firms here in Hong Kong about possible opportunities. This hasn't left as much time for sight seeing; luckily, we got to see most of the places we wanted to see in our first couple weeks here. As soon as Calvin finishes his tests today, we will have 2 more days to finish doing the rest of the things we want to do before flying back to the USA! Camden and I like to go to the nearby playground in the mornings and we have gone out and done a few things here and there. Here is a collection of pictures from a few of the things we've done.

The above picture is of the church building in Kwai Fong. On Calvin's first Sunday here in Hong Kong as a missionary, the bishop asked him to give his testimony in Chinese.

We also visited the Tsuen Wan promenade and had fun on these "massaging" rocks (I don't think that's what they're officially called, but as I understand, that is their purpose, to massage the bottom of your feet).

Calvin lived in this building in Luk Yeung San Tsuen (you'd never guess how to pronounce it).

Here's Camden at our favorite park. He was more interested in the leaves and dirt than the playground on this occasion.

One morning, Camden and I walked down to Hollywood Road to look at the antique stores. My conclusion-if you price it high enough, it must be a real antique! We also saw the Man Mo Temple, the oldest Buddhist temple on the island. Between holding Camden and trying not to die from the amount of smoke coming from all the incense burners, no pictures were taken.

One morning, we went with my friends Arie and Na Young to the space museum. This is all of the museum that we saw. It didn't open until 1 pm. We went to the art museum instead.

Here is Camden sitting with a group of Chinese kids at the art museum. He saw them all sitting there listening to a lady talking and he wanted to join the group.

My favorite exhibits in the art museum were of the ancient ceramics and pottery and also the exhibit made up entirely of gold (jewelry, hair pins, belt buckles, etc.) Here's a video of Camden playing with some huge, foam cubes with Chinese characters on them at the art museum.

And lastly, here are a couple pictures of Camden doing another one of his favorite things, showering. He loves playing in there with the removable shower head.

We will have a few more posts about Hong Kong, and then it's back to the USA for us!
