The Weekends

Hong Kong definitely has no shortage of things to do. Two weeks ago we met up with Angie's family and headed out to Lamma Island. Lamma Island is about a 20 minute boat ride from Central on Hong Kong Island and it is a place where most people get around by bike. Stewie got to experience his first boat ride though he slept most of the way. Also, the island has some nice beaches and Stewie got to run around in the sand, actually hop around like a bunny, and he had a lot of fun chasing after the girls - we're proud of him, he always ignores guys and goes straight to the ladies. After hiking through the hills and across the island we stopped for some of Hong Kong's best seafood at a waterside restaurant before taking a boat back home. It was a fun family day.






The 2 pictures above are from a Thai boxing tournament we saw last night. We planned on going to a free concert at the Hong Kong Arts Center but upon arriving realized the show took place the night before. So we decided to walk around and stumbled upon a Thai boxing tournament. There were 14 matches with fighters from at least 10 different countries. The highlights of the night were 2 TKOs, a girl fight with one beating the crap out of the other, and, best of all, 2 midgets having a go at it. It's fun to be able to find things to do almost every night of the week and what's even better is always having someone fun to do them with.
