A quick stop in Hong Kong...

On our way home to North America we stopped in Hong Kong for 2 days. We had some good times with some long time friends and got to see a bit of Hong Kong as well. Definitely a completely different culture then Papua New Guinea!

 We even got to see the backyard of Hong Kong which was beautiful!

 But most of Hong Kong looks a bit like this...

 There is so much smog that some people where masks in the city.

 We took the Peak Tram down the mountain which was built so that more people would move to this hard to reach area of Hong Kong.



 Jacob was amazed that all the scaffolding was made out of bamboo. And some people used ropes to climb up and down, but some people didn't bother. They say that the bamboo is more flexible in the wind storms or typhoons. It seems to work well for them. But Jacob thinks he will stick to normal scaffolding. :)

 Lots of fresh fish for sale!

 We took this old wooden boat around the coast to see the sights of Hong Kong from the ocean.

 A Chinese menu.... quite confusing to us! We were thankful that our friends ordered for us!
