It’s been a good, but long, weekend here in China. I’ll keep this to just the facts, and give you some reflections later.
So far we’ve made six trips across the border. Daddy has blessed us with a lot of success. Our main problem has been from extremely tight due to the ongoing swine flu scare. This has resulted in one of our girls being sent back to Hong Kong once, and me being detained for an hour. Only once did security check our bags. Even then, many books got across the border.
Our hosts here always take the weekend off. So we spent yesterday hiking to beautiful waterfalls and watching a light show in the Hong Kong harbour. This morning we visited a local church, ate an authentic Chinese lunch and visited a tourist trap called Victoria’s Peak. Tonight we cooked a special dinner (left over spaghetti) for our hard working hosts , and followed it up with my favorite game Telephone Pictionary.
We’ll make 3-4 more trips into China before we leave on Tuesday for India. I plan to share my reflections and some pictures soon.
