I'm very sad that we have to leave today :( It's been an awesome few days of activities and relaxing. We're off to Manila now to do some shopping before heading back to Hong Kong tomorrow.

Ok, I have to post two pictures today. In the morning, I sat by the beach with a cocnut and read. It was amazing. Then in the afternoon we went scuba diving! Brandon had never been, so he did the discovery diving, which just meant that he had to have an instructor right next to him the whole time and couldn't go deeper than 12m. It was still amazing! And we got some awesome pictures and videos on our GoPro. My favorite part was feeding the fish bread, which is what's going on in the picture. Our activity for today, besides massages, was jet skiing! We rented two jet skis for half hour and rode around. There was a flagged area that we had to stay in, but it was still super fun. Today was another day of sitting around. We went on a sunset cruise this evening, which was very nice. We really needed a vacation like this of nothing stressful, after our last two to Europe and India. Today we just hung out on the beach and read and wandered and went for a banana boat ride. Oh and got a couple massages :) And this is an awesome sign that's at one of the restaurants. Earlier this week I got some exciting news! I am going to be the new math department head next year at our school! :) I applied for it about a month ago and I just found out this week that I got the position. I'm super excited about this! :) Other than that, it was a very normal week and I didn't take any pictures. Haha. Today is the start of our Chinese New Year break, so Brandon and I are in Boracay, Philippines for most of the week. I'm super pumped for just relaxing at the beach! I went shopping in Shenzhen with a couple friends today for the first time. I actually bought some dresses! :) This picture is in the inside of the shopping center that's literally right across the border. I went to the races tonight with a few friends. I won $HK60, but bet $HK100, so didn't do well. I'm not sure if I've ever come out ahead. Haha. Regardless, it was still a fun night! I don't have a photo from today, but I wish I did. We had some friends over to watch the Super Bowl, which was really fun. Especially because most weren't American so had no idea of the rules of football. I spent part of the day decorating our photo wall at our new apartment. I updated some pictures from trips this last year and spent some time trying to figure out a good design for the wall. I think it turned out ok! :) |
