It's Friday!

My young Form 1 boys had a "Service Learning" project to conduct and the topic was preserving Hong Kong's cultural heritage. And so on Tuesday afternoon we piled into a bus and headed to the "Western Market" where we learned how it was preserved and renovated to maintain its unique identity. Here's a picture of some of the monkeys interviewing a shopkeeper.

The Queen Elizabeth II visited Hong Kong and before meeting Grandpa Ma and David for a seafood dinner, we took the Star Ferry and caught a glimpse of this humongous ship. It really is big, makes you wonder how it can possibly float.

We stopped into the Ocean Terminal Shopping Plaza and after (unsuccessfully) trying to find a cd we wanted at a record store, we walked out with something better: a WII!

It is Nintendo's newest and hottest game console where players strap the control to their wrist and to play any game, you must swing and punch and bat your arm like the real thing. The WII comes with 5 built-in games: bowling, tennis, baseball, boxing and golf. It is quite good fun and a serious workout! See me trying boxing for the first time.

You can also purchase other games from the WII store, and so far we've collected "Ice Hockey"(with zambonies and everything!) and "Super Mario Brothers!". I love it, tons of fun and a good excuse to get active but still stay at home in the evenings!
