Disneyland -- Hong Kong Style

I'm too tired to really post much tonight. Suffice it to say, the Typhoon warning was down-graded. We went to breakfast, went back to the hotel, grabbed our stuff, and changed hotels. And wow, what a hotel! Loving it! (Thank you Gaspars. We love you guys!) We checked in and made our way via MTR, Hong Kong's mass transit/subway system which I highly recommend you use if you're ever in HK, to Disneyland. The rides were shut down because the Typhoon rating was still at a 3 (I guess some brisk breezes / wind and a couple of brief rain showers qualify as a concern), but that really didn't bother us as we probably wouldn't have ridden much if at all. We saw Mickey and a few others, watched the parade, had some food, and after three hours, we were ready to head back. To our OASIS! The Intercontinental is stunning. We may be a little out of our element here as we're not loaded, but I don't care. This place is great. I just wish we didn't have to check out tomorrow a.m. at 5:15 or so. Blah. We strolled the now 2 miles back to "our" neighborhood, randomly picked at place to eat (ask Troy about his and Aiden's bathroom experience!), and started back. Aiden, of course, crashed and I was lucky enough to get to carry him the last mile or so. Again. Blah. But we are settled in and about ready to call it a night as we are exhausted. Wake up call? O'Dark:30 (4:30 to be precise). Tomorrow, God willing, we will be in Changchun. We will be in the same city as Ethan. We are so close now!!!

I'll leave you with some pictures of the day.
