Dragon’s Back with a fluff
We went for a hike on Dragon’s Back on Hong Kong Island with my friend’s dog. Z is my coworker’s dog. She takes him hiking constantly. This dog has so […]
Wednesday Afternoon Hiking
As with most of our Wednesdays, we took our after school hike from Ma On Shan over the mountain into Sai Kung. It’s always such an amazing time with these women even though it’s something we do over and over. It’s a great way to clear the mind and to […]
Return to Madness…
US vs HK It’s such an interesting thing. We were able to spend about a month in the US. When we arrived, it was a bit of a shock because almost no one wore masks. My parents did in crowded places like when they picked us up in the airport. […]
In a holding pattern…
Touch down in Hong Kong on 2nd August 2022 (Tuesday) We arrived at our hotel just around lunch time. We were staying at a hotel that has multiple of the same name just in Hong Kong alone. It is strange because service is varied among these locations. You would think […]
The Journey Home…
31st July 2022 We started our journey home on a Sunday. This made it difficult because we had to have a RT-PCR COVID test within 48 hours of our flight to Hong Kong but also had to have it before we started our journey home from Chicago. We had been […]
Flying off into the wild blue yonder…
We did it! We flew out from Hong Kong to go to Chicago. We had the issues with the first flights through Air Canada where we had the 26 hour layover in Japan. That doesn’t work. You’re not allowed to stay overnight in the airport. My mom was able to […]
Beach before going over the big blue ocean…
It. was a few days before we were going to be leaving for the US. I was invited out by a few work friends to go to Trio Beach. I took the sampan from Pak Sha Wan Pier. From where I live, it’s sort of a pain in the bum […]
Evening In TST
We went to dinner in Tsim Sha Tsui. We went to The Cheesecake Factory in Harbor City. We didn’t leave until around 5 PM and restaurants are still only open to serve until 6 PM. We ended up taking an Uber there. We got there and in right away, but […]
Cinnamon Cake with Spiced Apple Filling and Salted Caramel Buttercream
I got this idea from a cake we saw made on Sugar Rush on Netflix. B said it sounded like a really good combination. I made notes and looked for recipes to use. Of course, I did my own spin on things, but I think it turned out really well. […]
COVID-19 Care Package
They had signs posted in the lifts for a while. I didn’t really see the point of getting it, though RATs are nothing to sneeze at. Definitely grateful for the tests and the masks. Those things are a big cost. The government had wanted to do universal testing in mid-March. […]
