I would like to apologize for my lack of blogging recently, as I have been very busy and not had the time, or energy to post daily. That being said, I have been very busy recently and have a lot to talk about!
This past week, my parents flew to Hong Kong to visit me and get a taste of the city. They were here for 8 days, and we did not waste a second of it. Saturday and Sunday, we went on a bus tour of the city. This featured commentary and some historic sites, which was really cool to see. On Monday, we went to Lantau Island (featured in my previous post) and had a nice dinner. Tuesday, I went to work while my parents did some more exploring in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. Tuesday night, we took a nice dinner cruise tour down Victoria Harbour which offered stunning views of the city at dusk. The tour then took us up Victoria Peak for a nice American meal at Bubba Gump Shrimp. I took the day off Wednesday and we hit the beach at Big Wave Bay for some swimming and surfing. After that, we payed a visit to the Hong Kong Beer Co and got an exclusive tour of the brewery. On Thursday, I went to work again while my parents took a walking tour of Tsim Sha Tsui, the area near PolyU's campus. On Friday, we headed back to Tsim Sha Tsui for some drinks and shopping at the Jade market and the Ladies market. Here, we bargained and bartered to our hearts desire and scored some pretty awesome souvenirs. Overall, it was an incredible week, and one that I will remember forever. I am extremely grateful that my family would fly 8,000 miles to support me and hang out with me. I am very lucky to have such awesome parents and I truly believe I won the parent lottery. I love you mom and dad, thank you so much for coming:)

We had such a great time with you in Hong Kong! I can't believe we packed so much into a relatively short period of time. It seems like those 8 days went by faster than that 15 hour plane ride. I'm so glad we decided to make the trip. Thank you for sharing a touch of what you've experienced and accomplished this summer!
