I don’t need no stinkin’ luggage.
Well, actually I do. Because my whole wardrobe was in those bags. And they are still missing after 5 days. Does it make me love Hong Kong less? Absolutely not. Great first day at work (the people are terrific) and I came home to my father who had spent the day exploring and had a martini waiting. Top notch. Picture above is “noodles with green onions” which apparently means “noodles with pork chop” — still good though. I’m a lover of the fried rice here, which can’t be the best the city has to offer so the cuisine hunt continues.

A pleasant surprise
Sometimes life’s little surprises are fantastic! My friend organized an unexpected bon voyage dinner for me this weekend. (You’re a sneaky fox, SJ.) Words can’t describe how much it meant to me. My job brought me to this town nearly 2 years ago. Never did I expect to connect with such talented people that I’m proud to call friends. But I did and I’m grateful. I’m reminded of how rich I am in friendships. Thanks to each of my friends (new and old) for your support. Come visit!
Hoogity Boogity, I miss you already.

I’ve never been to Asia but I love Asian food.
Chinese, Thai, sushi—I love it all—so I figure that’s a good enough start. Next week I’m boarding a plane for a 3 month assignment in Hong Kong. Daddio is accompanying me on the first few weeks. He’s an adventurer and foodie, so while I work, he’ll scout. I’m not sure I know of a father/daughter pair that gets more into food or drink. But before I go, one last celebration is in order. The whole fam damily is headed to my house for New Years and Football. Go Hokies!
