Hey All!
Yes I am writing to you from Saturday when it is only Friday where you are in the States.
It really blows my mind, the size of the world gets smaller everyday but when you are on the other side of the world you get a different perspective. I thought things would be so drastically different but the truth is that everyone is pretty much doing the same stuff over here...I am the different one.
Our first official night in Hong Kong was slow because we were so tired. We tried the dining hall food in the dorm (not much different in quality as the States..if you are in college you understand what I mean by 'quality')
Then Juli, Desie and I went out to find an Irish pub that we heard about that had a great happy hour that started at noon. I am sitting next to Juli now and asked her what time we left to find the pub I thought it must have been around 6 because we didnt get to anything remotely close to a pub until 8:40 but she just reminded me that we did not leave at 6 but rather we left at 8 and we were only out looking for 40 minutes. Honestly it felt like we walked miles and that we were outside for hours. Apparently not.
We did not get to the irish pub but we did find the HOng Kong sky line. We found our professors hotel right on the water Harbor Plaza hotel. The sky line here is breath taking. After this post I will attempt to upload photos. THis computer keeps asking me to shut down and not matter how hard i try it shuts down anyway.
So we had a beer on the harbor with awesome lounge singers in the background who were wearing prom dresses and tuxs singing Linoneal Richie (Spelling?) doesnt get much better than that.
Ok. Now the computer lab is filling up and we need to go eat some food.
Sincerely,
Rita

you're so cool. i am really proud of you. i am on dawsons overload, only not really. i dont think that is possible. i am about to start the 4th show. i am not leaving until the 23rd, it is complicated. i dont remember if i told you that in the other post. i feel a little like i have been thrown in a whirlwind because i am lacking season two, and i am nervous that over the next few days i wont be able to keep it to myself and i'll have no more dawsons to watch on the plane. BUT I DID JUST REALIZE I WILL BE HOME FOR HARRY POTTER!!!! I JUST PEEPED MY PANTS!!! okk i love you i'll check this in like eight hours, because i am obsessed with you.
love,
trishy
i realized right now that when you said you updated, i had already commented on the one you updated. and that by the time i really woke up, it was midnight there. silly. ok! loved talking to you today. love love.
hi rit, it's mommy. your blog is great. today i got my hair done and my nails. and afterwards i was too tired to go to heidi's daughter's julie's party so i watched a walk to remember and cried all day. had a great line, and it made me think of you. the father said to the daughter "dont blame me if i held you too close, it's just that i love you so much" that's how i feel about you. and now you're in china, so i guess we're okay.
when i was little and i was at the beach digging, mom used to always say "you're going to dig to china." when i think of that now, it makes me crazy to think you are under all that sand. i hope you have a good laugh.
peggy said her vacation was like working in the rain, all it did was rain in ireland. and her brother was a crabass. and her nephew has never been anywhere, and was judgmental about everything and impatient with things that were different and she said to me, "too bad he's not like your kids. openminded, nonjudgmental." and i felt proud.
i spoke to desie's mother after you called, she was really nice. i am following your itinerary in the blue folders and the conference looks SUPER interesting. what an opportunity! tell us about the people you are meeting. you're so cool. i love you.
mom
ps> i typed this whole thing with mommy over my shoulder dictating. it was the best paper i've typed for her in a long time.
