Ms of Hong Kong

Jen here. My sister requested to see more photos, so here are a few more from our tourist adventure to the Peak. The landscape photo is of HK Island (buildings near) and "Kowloon side" as we call it, which is still part of Hong Kong, but is connected to the mainland. The other photo is of a fancy building on top of the peak, shaped like a half-moon. It has a mall inside and an observation deck on the roof. We ate at Bubba Gump's inside this building and looked out at the view through the windows you can see.

The other day I was inspired to write a post listing words beginning with "m" and explain the importance of each word, if necessary. Here goes:


Ms of Hong Kong

Muggy -weather from April - October
Moisture -all over our windows in the winter
Mold -trying to pretend like HK is WA, mold popping up on window sills and outer walls
McDonald’s -first time in many years that I want to eat at McD’s. I am a frequent customer at its McCafe (fruit frappe goes great with nuggets!)
M goi -means “thank you” and “excuse me” in Cantonese. Use it all the time.
Millions -stairs we climb to get to our apartment (~150) from the street
Marriage -God is using this time to refine our relationship, how we treat one another, how we communicate and to teach us to treasure one another’s presence
Multi-cultural -we’ve encountered people from HK, China, the Philippines, Pakistan, India, the UK, France, Malaysia, Australia and Canada(lots of people from Canada)!
Mangos -available fresh in stores; also, there are some dessert places that specialize in desserts full of mango. The other day I had mango pudding with sago (tapioca beads), topped with fresh mango, pomelo and strawberries. Mmm..
