Christmas in Hong Kong

Christmas may seem a long time ago, yet the memories are still fresh and still warm our hearts.  Hopefully  your memories are doing the same for you.

Our Christmas started 6 am, Dec 21st when the Wolfe cubs landed in Hong Kong.  YEH!!!!!  We spent a few days in Hong Kong, headed to Thailand Dec 23-28, then the last few days back in Hong Kong until they flew out Jan 1st.  The time was too short, went by too quickly, and yet we treasured every moment.

During out time in Hong Kong, we tried to show some highlights of touristy things to Sarah and Chris, and let them just enjoy the day to day parts of the city as we do.  We wandered a number of neighbourhoods that represent different aspects of this city, like traditional Sheung Wan with the unidentifiable dried items, busy Central, crowded Causeway Bay and really crowded Mong Kok (this area is THE most densely populated place in the world).

We travelled on the tram up the Peak, and then walked back down to our home.

It was an early start - yeh Starbucks!

The Big Buddha is REALLY BIG

Another day we took a ferry over to Lantau Island to visit the Big Buddha, a monastery and have lunch there.  We then headed home via the cable car.




Other things include eating in a crowded noodle shop, visiting Hong Kong Zoological park to see the monkeys, celebrating my birthday at the world's highest bar, dim sum lunch (small dumplings served in steamers), traditional turkey dinner on New Year's Eve, joining a HUGE crowd for the countdown to 2012, and so much more.  In fact, we did so many things, we had to do a video for you to show it all.  Enjoy!

In the middle of this, we went to Thailand. More to come on that part of our Christmas time together.  While you are waiting, watch the trailer!!

As the trailer advertised, come back January 23rd to see the full length feature!

Love you all - and miss the cubs very very much :(
