well we are in the hong kong airport now, so we can finally see our blog. We've changed plans so now we're going to Thailand, and our flight leaves in about an hour! we're going to a small island called Koh Chang. Not a bad place to be for my upcoming 30th birthday.
We did all the tourists stuff in Beijing, including paying what we have started calling the tourist tax to see the big attractions (meaning, since we can't read chinese we get stuck paying for things we don't want). We saw the FOrbidden City, the Great Wall, and the summer palace. We'veh ad some challenges with planning the Mongolia part of the trip, but hopefully our man on the groudn in Beijing (Wan Wei) will be able to help with that.
weird food items eaten: frog, duck feet, and some stinky soup that we're trying to forget about.
everything in hong kong is super cheap. I mean electronics. we bought a 514 memory card for $30. woo hoo! This world is a strange place- Hong Kong feels like the future, although it is not as scary as I thought it would be. People are super friendly, and everything is spotless. Well at the airport. I think Thailand will be yet again another world.
We hope you are all doing well. And we wonder if anyone can actually read this. Go ahead and post if you want to or can figure it out! we hope to put in some photos if we can find a chord for my camera when we come back through Hong Kong.
Be good all yall,
Betsy
