Hong Kong--December 2008

Glitzy and glamorous best describes Hong Kong. We spent almost two weeks there, getting home just in time for Christmas. You have to look hard to find anything that looks Chinese except for the writing on the signs. We got around on subways (MTR), escalators (outside on the hillsides), ferries, and double decker busses. I gave a couple of papers on Filipino English and pop culture at conferences held at two universities. Mom went crazy with the pictures--over 180. I chose a small sample to show below.
