Can you believe it... 6 years!

Hello everyone, can you believe that SB and started dating this day 6 years ago. That’s awesome. Look at us now, living in Hong Kong, makin it through, yet another of our adventures! Tonight, im taking SB ice skating, and then on to a really nice dinner at KFC. No not really, the place we’re going is called “the patio” and its an Italian restaurant that over looks Hong Kong’s beautiful harbor skyline. A teachers salary probably cant afford this place, so im gonna see if they any dish washers afterward…. SB said she needed to work on her Spanish anyway…..


We had a great weekend, so I’ve got some good stories for ya. Unfortunately, the typhoons have been small, and have yet to give us a day off school. Although, we only just started, who doesn’t love a rainy day off.
Friday after noon, we did what me and Sara Beth do best, lounge at the pool. I wish yall could see this thing, it’s huge. Saturday was a day of museums, which Sara Beth loved. I wanted to go to the Space Museum and Liza and SＢ　wanted the Art museum. SO naturally, we chose the space exhibits… or not. The art museum was really cool, and we saw some pottery that dated to 2000 bc. Afterwards it was back to the pool. Saturday night, we found an awesome sushi place. $43 Hong Kong Dollars ($6 US) and we had an all you can eat dinner. The menu had 39 items on it, and we tried just about all of them. Although, some were pretty funky. I ordered a fried fish roll, and I received two large sushi rolls with WHOLE FRIED baby fish ontop. I can eat just about anything, but not that. We had to pass. It was great though, this place was not touristy which meant we were the only white folks in there. So we made quite and entrance. I think everyone turned and stared as SB and I who are both VERY quite natured people gabbed our way through the restaurant. After dinner, we decided to wander one of the markets, but again we were a minority, but amongst a very shady group of folks. SB was unwilling to street fight with me, so we chose a new spot. We found what is known as the Temple street night market, where we bought, DVDs and most importantly… some new perfume. The movies we bought are still in theaters in the US, so you’ve gotta tip your hats to the ole Chinese movie pirates.
Yesterday, Sunday, we relaxed at the apartment, by the pool of course, and then joined our new friend Phyllis, to church. Its an Anglican church, which was a new experience for both Sara Beth and i. The congregation was open, and very warm to their American guests. The service itself was much like a YoungLife club meeting. A band led the songs, and a very lively man gave the homily. This experience was much needed in both of our lives. Anyway, I hope everyone at home is doing well, WE LOVE Y’ALL.
