Did you have a nice relaxing weekend? I have been so incredibly busy trying to get back in the swing of things of regular life. I decided that my blog is in desperate need of a makeover.. if only a blog could have botox :) So you will see some changes here and there and I am going to try out some different banners and buttons. I am still working on finding the perfect font!...
Happy Weekend! What are you up to this weekend? I am going to catch up with some old friends and I am going to drag my husband out for a relaxing picnic. We are still trying to recover from massive jet lag since we have been traveling for about a month. :) Next week I am going to show you my pics from Singapore and Bali and some new features! Have a wonderful long weekend. Don't worry I didn't deprive my little puppy of his t-r-e-a-t and he also got a little bit of a cuddle for his model time....
What I think is always funny when we go to a new city- we see signs and things that pop out and giggle because typically it's something that maybe doesn't translate into Western culture. Fook! :) I know that Ben Stiller did the whole Meet the Fockers series but now I am contemplating if it should really be Meet the Fookers. Hmmm.. Words can not describe looking at this photo makes me laugh even now. If you don't know what a "golden shower" is- google it! You must be 18 or older to view some of the links. When I was a kid I used to get really excited for McDonald's. I think maybe it was a combination of the clown Ronald or maybe the Hamburgler and the awesome toy you get in your own little box (or I like call them a kids purse). I don't eat most American fast food now but when I was a kid McDonalds was almost as good as Disneyland. I am still ever fascinated at McDonald's in different languages and in a different country. They also do Happy Hou...
Hello! I am so sorry and it's totally not my fault that I haven't been blogging. I think blogger was having some technical issues. I have been wanting to blog and wanting to read each of your blogs but sadly WIFI isn't the greatest and trying to upload pictures has been impossible. I can't wait to share with you all the magic and wonder that I have found out here. :) I will be back soon and with a surprise or two. Love and Creativity From Another Planet- E .....
I am hard at work and it's really interesting being away from home this long but I love being in a new place. It was quite an adventure finding the art supply store or anything worth finding. It seems like finding anything here in Hong Kong is a bit of a maze where the mouse needs to find the cheese. Even though they say that China/Hong Kong is the land of no cheese. The art supply store was in the area of town where you buy plumbing/lighting/flooring and it was on the 3rd floor of a random office building. I was a little nervous going into the building because it sort of looked like an apartment building with a security guard, but I found it! Here is a painting of some of the crowds here in Hong Kong. It is very crowded here and it's not just the crowd but everyone is in a hurry. In the United States usually you are given a little bit of a buffer for personal space when you wait in line or even just sitting on a bench. Not here. :) How's your week going?...
Have you ever been to a race track? I know the Kentucky Derby is coming up and guess what? They have a horse race track here in Hong Kong. They hold races once a week and it was really packed and exciting! I am not sure who created these large monster plastic pitchers of beer that you can take to your seat but I think they need to have these at all sporting games in the US. We also had delicious spicy chicken kabobs :) Our bet! We lost and I think our horse came in close to last. We didn't bet the house this time. Don't worry $40 Hong Kong dollars is only about $5 bucks US. Have a super weekend! Creative thoughts your way. ...
The other big tourist attraction in Hong Kong is going to visit the big Buddha and to get there you take a magical gondola up the mountain. There has never been any accidents and it's about a 30 minute ride from the subway. It is the largest bronze outdoor Buddha in the world, it makes me wonder were the largest one is. Awww don't we look cute riding the gondola? There were ice cream cones waiting for us at the top! Then we worked off those ice cream calories by climbing to the top. There were statues offering gifts to Buddha. I always think religious places like this are a little intense because you can sense the importance. There is also a ton of hiking trails that swirl up the hills and you can see the monks and people climbing the hills. I've started painting here in Hong Kong and I will post pictures soon. :)...
One of Hong Kong's attractions is going to what they call the peak. We went up in this old tram and it was almost like we were on a rollar coaster because the climb up the mountain was so steep and we were crammed in like sardines. They have been shuttling people up to the top for 100 years :) Once you get too the top.. you can dine.. shop.. and relax. Of course I indulged in a delicious fluffy cappuccino.. MM! It was a bit foggy up here and it almost felt like you were sitting on top of cloud. Today I am going to figure out how to get to the vintage shopping in town. Thank goodness the subway is easy here. What are you up to today?...
