Welcome to Hong Kong! We are here in China for the first three weeks of June, and invite you to join us through a few postings on this blog. Some of you have accompanied us to Estonia and India in the past, while some of you may be new to the world of travel blogs. We hope you'll want to "follow" us at least briefly (and we may only have 5-6 posts, as we're in our final week already).
Barbara's here for the second time this year (the first was in September) to teach several "short courses" in dance/movement therapy, in Guangzhou (a city of over 12 million, a two hour train ride into the southern mainland), and here in Hong Kong (about 6 million). Her days are long (usually 9-6) but she's enjoying her work, and she'll post later to tell you about it in person (the photo above shows her on one of her days off, when we took the old tram up Victoria Peak overooking Hong Kong and Kowloon below with all their modern high-rise buildings).
My (Bruce's) days are also long (and sometimes hot and humid), but have the option of naps at the hotel. I've been doing a lot of exploring, facilitated by the extensive and modern subway system which, as an "elder," I can ride for about 25 cents (the same trip would cost my young wife 4-6 times as much). I keep fueled with occasional stops at morning sidewalk stands as in the photo below, popular with students and young people on their way to work.
This is all for now! We will send along several additional postings, with photos, so please visit us again if you'd like to learn more about our adventures.
