Hong Kong here we are!
Cheers to our loved ones back home!
We arrived in Hong Kong, four hour flight from Bali - and jumped in! New school, new uniforms, new apartment, new friends and new food! What a city!
Shopping in Shenzhen - tailormade anything!
Our tailor, Ken - just pick it - he can make it!
Dim Sum anyone?

Our first official school holiday trip since arriving in Hong Kong! October is mid-term break, and we spend a week in Beijing. We stayed at a great hotel, owned by a friend of Bob's, and visited the Forbidden City, Tianamen Square, the Great Wall, and shopping.... It was a really fun train trip from Hong Kong to Beijing - 25 hours! The weather was gorgeous - not too hot, and sunny most days - truly a wonderful experience!
