Hong Kong October 2011

Steve came home from Germany for a grand total of one day and then headed the other direction around the world to Hong Kong.

He was there and in mainland China for another week.

He took Flat Stanley to a restaurant with amazing views overlooking Hong Kong.

Another restaurant in mainland China (I forget where exactly) seats 10,000 people at once.

Crazy! They ate there about three times.

The food was crazy as well.

At this restaurant they could pick out the exact animal they wanted to eat (mostly seafood like these little turtles)--almost all of which were still alive--and it would be taken to the kitchen to be cooked however they wanted.

Mmmm...chicken paws.

They made friends with a Buddhist monk.

Of course they had lots of meetings as well.

Steve got plenty of opportunities to use his Chinese.

Flat Stanley in China!

He loved Hong Kong, but was definitely excited to see this little guy when we finally got home!
