Hong Kong Day Two

Ok today was another crazy day for me... My body is still on usa time but i am in china... not so good!!! we got up at 6:15 am to get ready to go meet our group and guide in the lobby at 8:30 to have an organized tour of hong kong
i did not get but 3 hours of sleep during the night ugh!!!!
anyway the tour was pretty lame... i mean we got to see some neat stuff but did not get to stay at the places i wanted to stay at very long and stayed at the ones i did not want to stay out a long time!!!
we went to the highest point in china called victoria's peak it is about 1400 meters above sea level we could see the beautiful south china sea from one side and the cities and new territories from the other side we have pics that i will post from all of this at the bottom of the post. Then we went into the mall here to meet to leave but i wanted to stay b/c it was the best shopping mall we have seen and looked so neat it was very western not at all like the others we have seen that looked like flea markets. but no we had to rush off to go to next stop...
then we went to a little fishing village called aberdeen... really neat it is old school china at its best... i even rode in a sampan and did not get motion sick at all yeah for me and group (heehee)
after that they took us to a jewelry market complete set-up i might say they took us in the workshop to show how they create jewelry then into the jewelry store where they jumped on us like piranhas funny funny no one in group bought anything we all CHEAP lol
then we went to the traditional china market... it stunk... i was hot, tired, and ill!!! after that adventure we went back to room to REST and then go out to eat in a different town ha that did not happen.... i laid down to rest and the guys decided to lie down too after a little while and we all fell asleep again this time we woke up about 5 hours later which was too late to go to the other town to eat so we ended up having to order pizza to be delivered to hotel at 11:00 pm for supper let me explain first we went to hotel restaurant to eat but did not like menu or prices so we one by one snuck away from table and ran out the door laughing... second we went around the corner to look at another restaurant only to be ran off by owner for hanging out too long in front of his establishment and then back to room to order online pizza that would not let us and had to send rodney to lobby to pay a deposit to use phone in the room to call and order pizza so finally about 11:40 we were eating supper but it was good!
then of course since i slept all afternon i could not sleep at night again so here goes the cycle again UGH!!!!!!
Ok now for the pics....



This is the peak we were going up to... view from bottom in city...


Jackie Chan's House and I am so not kidding. I was so happy...all i wanted to do was to quote Rush Hour lines like "Lee, Lee get back here... or do you speaka English" heehee all you who really know me know that one of my leading responses when I am agitated is "Don't make me Jackie Chan you!" lol My friend Aaron would be so proud right now so if he or his sweet wife Charla read this he can smile!!!
The people here really like Jackie Chan and think he is a big deal to Hong Kong!!!


China scaffolding... they make from bamboo... so cool...
















Floating Restaurant... will seat over 3000 people for dinner... Whoa!








P.S. lots of you have asked me about the smells... Let me try to explain in my Tammy kinda way...
It smells like a chinese restaurant dumpster; raw sewage; and B.O. (they do not believe in deo evidentally)
Mix all of that together and you get "Gag me with a spoon!"

P.S.S. I got to talk to my BFF Christy on facebook; I am so happy :-)!

****ONLY ONE MORE DAY TILL I SEE MY BABY FACE-TO-FACE!!!I already feel the tears coming.... I am so grateful to our AWESOME God for His plan for me as a moma and for the two beautiful children He has given me!!!
