A few musings of our few days in Hong Kong ~

*I am here with an absolutely awesome group of people!  Blessed to have their company and guidance.

*We went out to dinner and got a 10% discount because we were a large group.  Much different than the U.S. where you are charged more if you are in a group.

*Chronologically advanced individuals (I hate to say elderly) are very active in HK.  They may have stooped postures and walk with a limp or uneven gait, but that didn't keep them from working to keep Kowloon Park and the surrounding areas clean and maintained.  There appeared to be 3 senior workers to every 1 "young" worker in the Park.

*Sleeping more than a few hours a night has been a bit of a challenge and it is becoming apparent.  I put my T-shirt on backwards this morning.  Thankfully, I glanced in the mirror while brushing my teeth and noticed before heading out the door to go for a jog.  I also was watching the morning activities out of the room window and referred to it as Chai Tea.   ;o)

*Speaking of Tai Chi, I joined in a group session this morning at the park as part of our cool down after jogging.  I only felt like an off-balance spaz about 10 times in the 5 minutes I participated.  A gentleman moved over a bit as I joined the group - not sure if he was being welcoming or could tell in advance that I would need a lot of space.....


*Authentic Spicy and Sour Soup (called Hot and Sour Soup back home), is about 10 times better than any I have ever had in the U.S.        Looking forward to authentic Indian food.
