Update from Hong Kong

We have been in Hong Kong for 5 days already. The weather here is great, varies between 24 and 29 C. It looks like it will cool off next week, but by then we will be in Beijing, where the temperatures are between 0 and 15 C. It will be quite a change going from here.

Hong Kong is a big place. Lots of really tall high rises, and lots of people everywhere. We have been taking subway, trams and buses everywhere. The transit system is really well setup so it is not a problem to get around.

Colin and Edith's wedding is on Saturday so Friday and Saturday will be a busy days for us, as we are helping with a lot of wedding activities. On Monday, we leave for Beijing, and I think we are going to see a lot more traditional chinese buildings as Hong Kong architecture looks very western.

We are just now watching the results of the American election, and are excited to see what happens. I am hoping that in the next four years we have fewer wars than we've had in the last eight. World needs more peace!

UPDATE: ABC News just predicted (based on the votes in so far) that Obama will be elected president in Election 2008!!! A truly historic moment.
