Drug store game

Which one of these items does not belong? This is the stomach issues section of the "mannings" drug store we sought Tums in. No Tums, but sufficient amusement.

For those of you wondering what that can of del monte sweet corn is doing there, yeah, we couldn't figure that out either. 

And according to the shelving label, no, it is not out of place.

Truly Hong Kong

Umbrella vending machine. I've seen it all!

A subway with first class? Yes, please! It's not special super exclusive premium business class, but it will do. 


Subway Scenes like this please me very much:

Ocean park

One of the most visited sites in the world, ocean park is an amusement park on the northern tip of Hong Kong island (please note it is actually the southern tip - Jordan and I get our north and south mixed up big time on hk island - I think it's Asian voodoo magic!). The park is magical and has fantastic views of the sea.

And of course it's Asian and ridiculous, which is the best part. 


Sea views!

We picked a great day to come, despite the typhoon level one warning. 

Their main coaster is actually one of the more fun coaster rides I have had - great views, fun flips, no death-defying drops, and a constant good time. 


Ocean park is known for its awesome aquarium. It certainly lived up to the hype. I will upload some other pics later but here is a good sample.




Ocean park was truly magical! We ended the evening with some live pandas, crazy goldfish, a mile long underground funicular ride, and this sunset:

I <3 Hong Kong

Because it's true.

This was prompted by special roof time. 

So does Jordan.

Dragon boat!

An official holiday in china, dragon boat race day draws the crowds to Stanley market. Jordan had off for the day so I am "working from Stanley".


We are embracing our western heritage today with pizza and beer.

Hot!


Today is probably one of the hotter days here so far...so I decided it was a good day to so some walking/exploring during lunch in dress clothes.
