The most perfect picture I have ever taken (how could you screw this up?) We are really enjoying our time here in Hong Kong; and that is precisely why we have stayed so long (three nights in one city is a long time for us; the only other cities we did that in is Paris and Amsterdam...). That, and we needed to get a new visa to get back into China... But I'd like to think we would have stayed this long anyway.
We have spent the last couple days seeing the city and the boardering islands around it. The city is really one of the more beautiful I have seen in my travels, and it would be impossible for me to imagine or even comprehend a more beautiful skyline, at night, than the one found here, at eight o'clock each night. The boardering islands have been full of things to see as well. Such as The Big Buddha, as it is sometimes called, a 30 meter high sitting Buddha perched at the top of the second highest moutain in Hong Kong.
It is quite the site, being the largest sitting Buddha in the world, weighing ruffly the same as a jumbo-jet. We also a very nice open market where we had

Randy's "look at me" face (riding a ridiculously small escalator) a nice meal and I now can say that Sweet and Sour Chicken tasts the same here as it does in the States (this is surly not the most authentic recipe, so I will "have" to try it again in main-land China).
Today we got our visas back, and both Randy and I have been accepted back in to China. Great news seeing we had already bought our train tickets out for Guilian tomorrow (Friday) night. It shouldn't be that bad of a ride; but you never know, it could turn into another "hell on earth" sort-of ride, like our train from Quindao to Shanghai. But I am opitimistic.
