We've been here for a while, but we've finally figured out the internet!

i know it's difficult for you to believe that erin and i aren't adept at everything in the world (especially anything to do with technology), but the truth is, our blog shows up in chinese characters, so it is more difficult than level 20 of doctor mario to get to the add a blog page... but now we have the know how. and you have our words. hopefully we'll get pictures up soon.

what my blog would say if i could access it right now
here's the thing, for some reason i can't get my blog to work, but as luck would have it... i can access myspace!!! so, i'm writing it here for now, and when i can find a way to get to www.rememberthisnow.blogspot.com i will utilize the copy paste skillz that i so regularly depend on.Right now I am being serenaded by 65 year old men singing karaoke. They are the upper society of the hostel that Erin and I are staying at, and they are ultimatly awesome. We are in Hong Kong, and we are having a rather nice time.

We've conquered china. I don't know what you've all heard, but that's the truth. At this point in time, we don't even know how to fail, we're taking the right busses, we're turning down the right roads, and we've met some of the kindest people.

Erin is the ultimate mom right now, she's videotaping everything, going to bed early, bathing regularly, etc. She's perfect.

We are almost the ultimate tourists on our sightseeing excursions: we've been to the markets (dad, you would cringe at and admire the meat stalls), been to the peak, taken the world's largest escalator, bartered like crazy, eaten delicious food, gone to the zoo, found a lovely mosque ( complete with kind groups of worshipping women), seen great views (ala' victoria peak), ridden a ferry, seen the light show (which is surprising in the amount of collaboration it showcases), and walked and walked and walked. I'm really good at walking, and erin... .well, she's top notch.Every morning we stretch out our legs and shower, then head down to find a bakery. In all honesty, we really like the 'sausage' buns. it's a soft bun with a hot dog inside. also, barbeque pork tarts are really satisfying in the morning.

There is a ton going on, and just realized i only have a few minutes left on this computer. hopefully we'll find a library tomorrow so i can write a more comprehensive entry.also, just to tell you, i got sunburned today, in Hong Kong, in the winter. it's rediculous. an old chinese man just said to me, "what is wrong with your face?".

you can be impressed.

love you
