Today I went on my second tour which was of Lancau Island which is also part of the Hong Kong area...This tour was even better than yesterday's despite the early morning rising...The tour consisted of the Avenue of the Stars, another fishing village, another temple, a ferry ride across, the BIG BUDDHA (currently the largest in the world although we were told that India is trying to build one that is about 6 times the size of this one--My brother and I both can agree, I think, that it will probably take at least about 20 years for the Indians to build something that size because they work sooooo slowly), and finally we took the cable car down to the bottom...Dad, I'm sure that you would have loved the ferry ride and the cable car ride down as they both went by the International Airport, which they say has the most flights coming in and flying out on a daily basis (about every 3 minutes they say)...What an amazing day!!! I met some great people on each of these tours and made some new connections in various other parts of the world!!! I have been staying with my friend and her parents in THE PEAK for two days and checked into a hostel in Mt. Davis yesterday since she had to go to China on business for a couple of days but will be back with her tomorrow to spend my last night... Hong Kong is an amazing city!!! Off to Fukuoka, Japan on Friday to see YUKO!!!
