This afternoon we went to the Bird Market, Flower Market, and Fish Market. It is extremely hot in Hong Kong! We were the sweaty Americans. It was extremely crowded. We talked about what it would be like for a person with a disability to live in a city like this and how difficult it would be to do anything at all. We also talked about how hard it would be not to have a family and to have to fight so many obstacles to have a life here.
first we exchanged some money
took a cab here
to the Po Street Bird Garden
we saw crickets
and lots of birds
in cages
this was symbolic of our experience
watching so many beautiful birds crowded into a cage in the heat
Jake found a turtle
this is the fish market
then we stopped for lunch
(just kidding)
And this is what jet lag looks like:

ReplyDeleteYour journey sounds amazing so far - I love all the photos. Your sense of humor always makes me smile and the chickens made me laugh outloud. Glad you arrived safely and I hope you have recovered from some from the jet lag. (its Monday at noon here) Keep on posting those great photos and comments - they are awesome.

You should have eaten those ducks... they are phenomenal! My mouth is watering... duck in China is my most favorite food in the entire world! And, I love that you visited the bird market. I have bird cages from the HK bird market all over my house! Love it!
