Haser Happenings: Thinking of my kiddos in HK

Dear Kayla, Logan, & Krysto-bug,

Sitting here in Hong Kong with thought of you three!

It is very gray here...

This is a picture from the hotel bedroom window.

The gray lingers throughout the day. We have yet to be greeted by the sun. It lends to this feeling of twilight all the time, which btw doesn't help with jet lag! Also, to look at this picture it would almost have a 'chilly' feel to it. How deceiving it really is. It is very warm. Very warm and humid. Imagine a sauna or steam room, and you will have the perfect description for what it feels like outside.

The day before yesterday, I think I slightly salt overloaded from the local food. Honestly, it was probably MSG. I have this slight issue with MSG, makes me sooo sick... So yesterday I felt terrible, so terrible...

During the day I have been spending my time in Daddy's office, so at least at lunch and on breaks I get to see Daddy! The office building is connected to a mall, so I can go wonder around if I want. I braved going outside for a bit, too hot and muggy (at least to do it alone!). There are a MILLION people here right now. Apparently, Hong Kong is the place to be during the summer. Although, if I were going to plan HK as my tourist destination if would be during April when the weather is much nicer. It is a little too warm currently or is it that we are spoiled in California?

We are staying at the Hotel for the employees of the Airline, and they provide a free shuttle to and from the Hotel to the Airport (shuttle is a bus, btw). The Airport, while being an airport is really a MALL too?!. I know it is weird, but since there is nothing by the Hotel, it is nice to be able to free shuttle over to get dinner or walk around. Well, last night we shuttled over to the Airport, and Dad surprised me and took me on the train to Kowloon! Then once in Kowloon they have a bus to get where you are going. So, you get it right Bus - train - bus - walk - dinner.

On the train, there is a little strip at the top that lights up to show you where you are and how your journey is progressing. That is cool! Remember, I wasn't feeling super? Well, poor Daddy I KEPT falling asleep. Out cold, mouth hanging open (gross) every time we sat down on the bus or train! A little embarrassing!
