Hello from China!

- hot...disgustingly, sweat-drippingly hot
- so much good food: an entire meal consisting of 7 courses of seafood
- so much weird food: silk worms (I don't think they're meant to be eaten)
- crazy drivers: I've never been so afraid for my life (maybe perhaps when I was last in Joe's car)
- shopping paradise: this HK$ to Cdn$ exchange rate is awesome
- cute clothes everywhere
- wanting to dress like a fob, but sticking out like a sore (Canadian-born) thumb
- having giggly high-school girls laugh at my horrible Cantonese
- getting my Chinese vocabulary back
- seeing family I haven't seen in years
- meeting family I've never met before
- walking through the house where my dad grew up
- sitting in the same high school classroom chair that my dad sat in
- seeing the place where my mom and dad met
- more good food. I think I've gained 5 lbs since arriving
- did I mention the humidity and heat?

One more week of culture and sensory overload :)
