we've been back for about 4 days now, and whenever i'm alone, i think about hong kong, whenever i sleep, i dream of hong kong, whenever i chit chat, i talk about hong kong. can you tell? i miss hong kong.
i haven't gotten back on schedule yet. we got in on saturday night, had dinner with my family, talked about the trip and handed out gifts. afterwards, we went back to jung's house and opened up our full suitcases. we left with 1 full suitcase and came back with 3. it's odd tho, because i don't think i even purchased that much. sadly, i left with intentions to christmas shop, but did not get any xmas gifts for anyone but me. hehe. just a couple of sweaters and pants, but nothing too phenomenal to talk about. oh wait, in fact i did. during our day trips to china, i had a chinese dress made for the wedding and a long coat made for the chilly sf days. i got both made for less than $100 US dollars. and they were made for my measurements! very cool.
anyways, i will update my trip in a few days. i've actually gone dumb and have a bit of trouble typing with thoughts stuck in my head. also, my fingers are frozen, so that makes it a bit hard too. the heater at my foot is laying heat only at my foot. dave suggested that i attach a little battery operated fan to the top of it so that it blows heat towards me. too tired to.
i'm still a bit jet lagged. saturday night, after a bit of unpacking and such, parkin and i went to bed around 12:30 and slept til 11am, watched a couple hours of television then went back to sleep til 4:30. 4:30pm!!! we got up and ordered a pizza for dinner, unpacked and watched more tv til about 4am, got up around 7:30am and got ready for work on monday. i was pretty groggy and very achey in the head and body all day. popped a couple of ibprofens and went about the day. i left work a bit before 5 and got to parkin's house, added captions to some pictures we took on our trip, then lay down to rest in the bedroom a bit before 6pm thinking i'd get up in a little while to eat dinner. uh, i didn't get up until 6:45... this morning. i vaguely remember getting out of bed around 2am to change into my pj's, but that's about it. i heard parkin get up around 4am and he made some rukkus in his office. but i can't believe that i slept so long... and that i'm still tired. i feel so discombopulated.
here are a couple of pictures from the trip. more to come later. thanks for your patience.
