We’d come to
Hong Kong because there were no direct flights from the United States to
Thailand and our choices for connecting flights were Tokyo or Hong Kong. We
didn’t want to arrive at our destination with jet lag so we stayed a few days
in Hong Kong. As it turned out we made the right decision because Hong Kong was
drizzly and foggy, but Tokyo was shut down with a blizzard. Read about it (here).
Two weeks ago I was
climbing 268 steps up a mountain to the Po Lin Monastery to see Hong Kong’s
largest outdoor bronze Buddha, officially called the Tian Buddha, but
unofficially known as Big Buddha. A cold rain pelted me, and the fog was so
thick I couldn’t see my hands in front of my face, not that I was willing to
pry them from my pockets where they huddled for warmth. Read about my adventure (here).
It seems like we just
returned from India and now we’re off on another adventure. Shutting down
Chubby Chatterbox before a vacation is traumatic for me and I always wait until
the last moment to do so. I admire bloggers who can write and publish posts while
on vacation, but I’m not one of them. Read about our upcoming adventure (here).
Many bloggers take every
opportunity to brag about their kids, but up until now I haven’t been one of
them. Yet on Thursday our son CJ completed the first round of tests to become a
master automotive technician, certified by the ASE (National Institute for
Automotive Service Excellence.) Read about it (here).
Mrs. C. and I aren't huge sports fans but we do watch the Super Bowl.
I hope your team does well, whoever you're rooting for. As for
predictions; I predict I'll eat too much, enjoy a few commercials and be
confused by the game. Until then, some fellow bloggers forwarded these
pictures. You might have seen these before but they made me chuckle. Check them out (here).
