Hong Kong has so much to offer that I am having trouble finding time to blog. I spent yesterday shopping with Matt for electronics. I have never seen anything like this. Store after store at the Hong Kong computer center. Matt was in Heaven. I bought a 12-mega-pixel video camera and a 12-mega-pixel camera-I didn't intend to buy two cameras but at $250 each I couldn't resist. After lunch at a Chinese Restaurant I went to the ladies market and Matt returned to the computer center. I didn't find much there but enjoyed wandering through the meat, fish and vegetable markets. Matt and I had booked a tour that included cocktails during a harbor cruise, dinner at the kitschy Jumbo Floating restaurant in Aberdeen and more night viewing. It was touristy but fun. Today I did more shopping while Matt stayed in the hotel because he wasn't feeling well. He is at the YMCA now doing laundry and tonight we will go to the night markets so he can do some shopping. I am about shopped out. I hope to go to Hong Kong Island tomorrow (we are in Kowloon) but a typhoon is coming so we will have to see what the weather brings tomorrow. Everyone keeps assuring me that the typhoon in HK is no big deal-it only is dangerous on the outer islands.

Mom,
I got a frisbee for dogs and I can already catch it and flip it.

I read the typhoon is the largest in 50 years!
