The Biggest Rubber Duck EVER

Well, I feel like I've seen all I need to see in Hong Kong. The 54-foot rubber duck that has been to several cities around the world is currently in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour and I got to see it in person (with hundreds of my closest friends). Yay!

We have Wi-Fi!

Since posting about the difficulty of finding wifi in this wonderful city, I have discovered my new "office." The Hong Kong Central Library. A beautifully maintained building in Causeway Bay, the library is the perfect place for me to connect not only to the internet, but also to electricity. These people are smart.

你好 (Hello) from Hong Kong!

After sleeping for 13 hours last night, I am hopeful that the jetlag has run its course. With such an accomplishment, I begin settling into my new life in Hong Kong for the next couple of months. I will attempt to update this blog as a way to keep in touch with those in faraway lands (hi, mom and dad!) and also to remember the adventures of this place.

Since arriving 4 days ago, Sam and I have spent a lot of time outside - enjoying the warmth and humidity that is just getting started for this Hong Kong summer. My legs have received special attention thanks to the 97-step climb to the apartment, the overall hilly landscape of the city and yesterday's hike up Pottinger Peak.
