HKG090: The Gateway to Heaven in Hong Kong...

is paved in cans of diet dr. pepper :-) ohh, dr. pepper, i have missed you so!

today was a suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper sunday (use your very best car sales announcer voice for that). we headed down into central to check out a store called gateway. it's like a mini sams or costco and is filled with bulk sizes of all sorts of american goodies. it's crazy expensive on some stuff, and a really good deal on other stuff. we had an absolute ball. we found pancake syrup, diet dr. pepper, swim diapers (q's cloth swim diaper ripped), all sorts of snacks, applesauce (can't tell you how much the kids have missed applesauce), fruit treats, salsa, canned chilis, and more. thankfully, the store delivers, so we were not faced with getting all the loot home. the items will arrive in three to four business days, and i cannot wait!

after visiting gateway, we were off in search of kings park. it took us a looooonnnnggg time to find it, but it was pretty fun once we got there. the area was very quiet and beautiful...there was literally a jungle just above the park. there was so little traffic or construction noise near the park that i could hear the cicadas singing.

this evening, josh held down the fort while i got out for a nice dinner with a friend. we went to a spanish place and had some very delicious food and a great time catching up.

the kids got a kick out of this mural inside the MTR station and asked to have their pic taken in front of it.

the kids are inside of a pretend dinosaur skeleton at kings park.

i was so happy to see a dr. pepper product that i had to get a picture...i also almost decided to buy the real stuff before i found the diet. it's a good thing i found the diet because as much as i love this stuff, i'd gain 20 pounds in a week ;-p

  1. I am so glad you've got your Doctor back!!!!! You must feel so much closer to normal now. I can't believe they even had diet (a product I honestly didn't even know about before I met you). It's like they knew you were coming! ;-)
