First Day in Hong Kong

We started off a great day with breakfast in the staff's suite between 9:00 and 10:00 am. Getting there required elevator jumping as we were on the floor twelve and thirteen and they were on twenty two.

Getting there required elevator jumping as we were on the floor twelve and thirteen and they were on twenty two. First we had to ride the elevator down to the third floor and then take the elevator up to the the twenty second floor. But we get joy thrills from riding elevators, so this was right up our alley.

Lunch was awesome-some Korean barbecue. In addition to all the delicious food, Alana persuaded me to try sushi. The orange colored fish eggs, commonly called caviar, made me gag, but thankfully the cookies n' cream ice cream erased my taste buds memories. Sure does work wonders!
The after noon was diligently spent in teacher training sessions and craft preparation. After a lot of paper cutting, we were rewarded with getting to go shopping at the ladies' market in the evening. I am a huge fan of the reward system. It was pretty cool bargaining with the stall owners, and some of us got fun Asian style shirts and dresses. This was definitely the best thing that happened to me today! Thank you Jesus for your good gifts, and some calm before the storm of doing CI's every day this next week.
