This was a wonderful and successful trip for us. Here are all the PHOTOS. I am happy that we were able to see everyone, especially Grandma, and do everything that I was hoping for. I am pleased to have finally brought the boys to meet my relatives and friends there, and had the boys see my home country. It was great that I could take Stuart and the boys to pay my parents a visit where they rest. I am also glad that we were all well there after Logan’s initial motion sickness. Stuart is also happy that everything went smoothly and that I fulfilled my wish. When I asked the boys what they liked about this trip. Logan responded “Disneyland, seeing Great-Grandma and visiting Mommy’s mom and dad”. I was very surprised and touched by Logan’s response. Connor added that he liked the dolphin show in Ocean Park and he enjoyed eating out all the time. I also enjoyed having the mall just right within walking distance; it was wonderful to be able to grab food quickly and everywhere As a result, I have gained at least a few pounds during this trip and Stuart in contrary lost 4lbs.
     The boys had adapted to the life in Hong Kong quite well.  They had learned to be on their feet for hours each day.  Even though there were days that they complained of being tired, they managed to continue to walk with us.  They loved using their Octopus cards to badge in and out of the MTR, and they have learned the basis of the train system.  Connor often would ask for our destination and he could figure out the route we would use. He would then count how many stations and keep track.  They got used to walking in a faster pace along with the crowds during train changes.  They learned to hold on and keep their balance if standing while the train was in motion.  But they always try to find seats for themselves and for each other too.  Instead of playing on the phones like everyone in Hong Kong during the rides, the boys loved playing with their Lego men with each other.  At each meal, they developed a new habit of drawing with Stuart.  The boys would take turns with daddy drawing some battle figures on the paper.  We now have a whole collection of battle scenes.  The boys had learned a few Chinese words, and they had a little bit of practice there. They could call the relatives with the proper titles and thank them with good manner.  Overall the boys were very patient with all the people we had to see and things we needed to do.  The trip was a great experience for us all.
