Hong Kong Revisited

Looking back over all my pictures with my friend Ruth, I saw things I had almost forgotten - smoggy days; sky high buildings; hydrofoils; more smog; more Disney. I'm including some of those now:

The pictures below are of downtown Hong Kong.
















The picture to the right is looking off of "The Peak" which is one of the highest points in Hong Kong. As you can tell, we didn't get to see much that day. But, this is how the sky looked most of the time we were in Hong Kong.

The picture below is of Hong Kong on a clearer day. According to our tour guide, the higher up the mountain you live, the richer you are. These are some highrise apartments. This is the type of housing in which most of the people of Hong Kong live. The buildings are too numerous to count, but our guide said the population was 7 million, at the last "loose" count. This picture was taken from a san pan in the China Sea. This was part of our tour of Hong Kong that we took on the second day we were there.














The picture to the left is of the Mtns behind our hotel. This was our view on our last day in Hong Kong. It had rained the day before and we actually saw the sun on this day.

And, to our surprise, the view out the other side of our hotel was amazing. The picture below is of the mtns that we didn't even realize were there.



I left wishing we didn't have 25 travel hours ahead of us. I also left hoping we had taken enough pictures. But most of all, I left praying for Hong Kong. I pray for better air for them; for less stress in their lives; for parents to accept their "daughters" as the beautiful gifts they are; for better understanding between countries, and last but not least, for more people to love and discover the goodness of God.
