Many many tours!

I spent all day Thursday touring around Hong Kong with my group of secondary students. It was awesome! Such a long day, but so much fun. I hope they didn't think I was too lame because by the end of the day I was totally beat and I think they could have kept going on for hours... I left around 8:30am and didn't get back until 10pm. During that time I got to see a little bit about each part of Hong Kong. We went to the island (where the city is) and shopped a bit and wandered around the city until lunch. We ate lunch at this place in what seemed like an sketchy alley, but my group assured me that the food was famous. So I ordered something without actually fully knowing what it was, and they brought me something that closely resembled Ramen. but really really good and authentic Ramen. The lady didn't speak English, but she brought me chopsticks and a fork and when I took the chopsticks and not the fork she was very impressed. She kept coming back and patting me on the back for using my chopsticks so well, and apparently told my students that I was very smart. It was exciting! I feel like it was my initiation into the Proficient Chopstick Users Worldwide club. We should get shirts. After lunch we went over to Kowloon to the Space museum, which was entertaining to say the least, and then we watched an IMAX movie about the Grand Canyon. I thought it was hilarious that they took me to watch a Grand Canyon movie while in Hong Kong, and they kept apologizing because they thought it was very boring, but I thought it was pretty cool. I even spotted some Wilderness River Adventure boats!! I got to see the beautiful harbor that you see in every picture of Hong Kong ever. I promise I'll post pictures up soon, I just haven't had a chance to hook up my camera in a while. But rest assured my next post will be mostly photos!
Yesterday we also got to go sight-seeing, this time we were taken out by Ken and it was just team USA. I saw a lot of the same stuff, but this time we had a private bus so it was much less walking. The best part was going up to The Peak and seeing the city at night. It was completely gorgeous.
