The highs and lows of living life in Shanghai at the ripe age of 50. Adjusting to the Chinese Culture and their way of life. I do not speak the language. Learning a new language has never come easy for me. Never lived in a large city before and now in a city of over 22 million is new and exciting. My husband's job is fast paced which requires long hours and some travel. Leaving me with lots of free time to find myself, to explore hidden talents and to possibly reinvent myself,

Hong Kong Weekend
After the last New Year Party Mike and I left for Hong Kong for a weekend getaway. If you like shopping you are in the right place. You can shop every designer you can think of and then some. Our driver suggested going up to the point on the pennislula which is known as The Peak. From this spectacular view we could see the city skyline, Victoria Harbor, Kowloon, and the beautiful hillsides. As this is also known as lover's lookout you could choose a paper heart, write a message to your lover, and post it for the Gods to see. Mike did and I snap a picture of it. I do have to say that Victoria Harbor really is amazing, as it is the largest trading port in the world. The engineering alone is amazing. Walking the streets in the down pour of rain, we have learned you cannot control the weather. We saw temples and interesting colonial buildings. We ordered margaritas with a Corona beers in them at Bubba Gump"s with our dinner, they are now one of our favorites. Cheers!!
