Well it''s been a busy start of the weekend for us for sure, today promisses to be another busy day :)
I have to say about Hong Kong, you go to the right restaurant here, and 4 people can have a wonderful large meal and it will set you back 10 euros (no not per person, the whole meal for 4!). You get into public transport, and you can get anywhere in the city for less then 1 or 2 euro''s (the cheapest ticket in Holland costs more and doesn''t get you anywhere noteworthy). You really can live on a small budget if you go here on vacation without compromising. Not bad for a country that otherwise has pretty steep living costs (housing, fuel, etc. all just as or more expensive then Holland). Tax is nice here though...
Friday at the end of the day we went to Lily''s aunt. They had a wonderfull little playground where Linsey could play with all sorts of toys and other kids. With my parents in law, my aunt, her mother and some other people around it did get a little crowded :) We also had a wonderful dinner with them, it unfortunately did take up to 10 o''clock before we headed home. That was a wonderful busride for Linsey who had a wonderful view being in a double decker bus, but all in all, it was a too tiring day for her and we paid the price on Saterday.

Saterday was a hecktic start, Linsey slept too little and was constantly in a fit. We had a late start of the day. Linsey''s brother Ronald came round with his wife Stephanie early in the afternoon. When they were over on thursday we had agreed to go out today but before we could do that, we had the mandatory yam cha with the family :) I didn''t eat this time though, I am way to afraid that this constant stream of yam cha will undo all the hard work over the past two years.
Ronald drove us to Tai Po where they had a wonderful little park. It was the first time in days we could finally relax and take it easy. It was great to see Ronald play with Linsey, he will really make a good dad I think.
At night we dropped Linsey off at home so she could take a bath and get some food. She was way to tired from the past few days and already started to fall asleep while drinking but not before waking everyone else up protesting and screaming, she really had enough so we put her to bed early.
We also went to see Iron Man, owh boy I really can recommend that to anyone. That is one heck of a cool picture! We went to a cinema called the Grand or something. Man that is one cool theatre! The sound was a little load but you could feel everything that happened on the screen. It really made the movie come out alive.
This morning Linsey woke up bright as can be, you can really tell she''s enjoyed yesterday and just needed some rest. We''ll be heading out for ANOTHER yam cha today:)
