hongkong and macau

so, because teddy had to leave the country when his working visa expired, we decided to make a bit of trip out of it before i went back to work. we originally wanted to go to thailand (or anywhere else beachy) but flight schedules wouldn't give us much time on the beach, with only 5 days for travel......so we decided on hong kong. not a bad choice at all.

.....unless it is super foggy and a little rainy the whole time you're there! we couldn't really understand the hype about hong kong when we were there, but now have come to learn it's because we didn't go to see the massive buddha in the mountains or go to victoria's peak. we just didn't bother because it was too foggy to see anything. we did have a great time though. walking the streets of hong kong is interesting, the food was good, people are polite and the break from korea is always good. we decided to take one of our days there and go to macau. that was really fun. it was a formerly portuguese, so that made it interesting and different.

here are a few photos.....

here we are at a random pretty spot in hong kong.
