This is the entrance to the famous Stanley Market. We enjoyed a couple of hours here. Prices were really good, because they would give in to bartering. We are good at bartering after living in mainland China for a year and a half.
This beautiful tree hotel building is finally done.
This is another photo of the finished Tree Hotel.
This is the Tree they built the Hotel around. The Tree Hotel is finished. We saw it started last year and it is finished now. It looks great.
MONSTER BUILDLINGS. This is the tall tower in Hong Kong. It has a short tower next to it to befriend it. It is a happy tower. It is a Monetary, Financial Office Building.
Here are the two towers in Hong Kong. They are good friends. They are so high that it is hard to imaging building them...
We flew back to Jinan after our 10 day vacation and BYU China Teachers Conference in Hong Kong. We enjoyed our three days in Macau. We loved the conference. We had a blast. We really enjoyed the Hong Kong Temple every day for a solid week. It is good to be back home for a few days in Jinan (4 days). Today we flew to Xian to help at the Star Fish Thrower Orphanage and to see the sights such as the great wall and the Terra Cotta Warriors here. We are staying in the volunteer housing at Starfish. We will blog our experience here with the 53 orphans under 3 years old. Six of them have just been adopted and are waiting to be picked up soon. There are babies everywhere. We will help where we can to organize, move things, build things, do plumbing and cleaning, but mostly handle and hold and love the babies. We are in for a real treat. There is work enough to do here. See the websites to learn more about what we are about this next 10 days. We really feel blessed to get to do this! What a treat!
