Today we woke up kind of disoriented, but ready for to enjoy a day in Hong Kong. We opened up the window of our hotel room and noticed that we had a wonderful view of the 360 cable car that takes people to the biggest Buddah in the world, called interestingly enough the Big Buddah.
We then walked to a really wonderful place called the Federal Palace. We were the only non Oriental people in the restaurant. The food was wonderful. It felt kind of weird to be eating Dim Sim for breakfast, but well, the reality of it is that for us it was strange, but for this people the strange people would have been us if we had ordered bacon and eggs or something like that.
We then went to Disneyland, where Sebastian had a wonderful time. It was very crowded and hot, and after the jet lag yesterday Seba was ready to call it a day at 3:30 pm. By the way, I will say that it is true. Chinese in general do not like to make lines and you really have to watch it if you do not want to lose your spot in line. They are quite inventive. Disney was also mostly filled with Asian people. Never heard anyone utter a single word in Spanish today. Very strange. A lot of people stared at Sebastian and were obviously talking about the cute dark kid who spoke loud. LOL! Probably almost everyone thought we were from Mexico, since he had a Mexico soccer shirt. We did get asked yesterday if we were from India though, which we have been asked plenty in our lives. For some reason when we are far away, no one ever asks if we are from Puerto Rico. I am being sarcastic by the way. Someone today heard that we were from the Caibbean and his eyes bulged like seriously? BTW, he was this wonderful older man in the breakfast dim sim place who helped us not look like we were ignorant. He really helped us out.
We have loved Hong Kong and are sorry that we will not have time to really see a lot of it, but we are happy and so scared of tomorrow taking that final flight to complete our family. Yes, tomorrow we fly to Nanchang, the province where Gabriela is from, Nanchang being the capital of Jiangxi.
p.d Sebastian no longer has a fever. Those are great news.
pd the photo of the bathroom is because believe or not there is transparent glass between the bathroom and the bedroom.
