Hong Kong was so amazing! What a beautiful city with rich culture, delicious food, and tons to see! Not only did we get the opportunity to check out the sites but we got to see where my Mom's side of the family is from. It was so neat to see where my Mom was born, where my Grandma was born, where my Mom played as a child, and things like that! I highly recommend Hong Kong as a great vacation and I can't wait to go back with the my hubby and the rest of my family.

My Grandma was born and lived in Stanley Civilian Internment Camp during the Japanese occupation and the camp was here at St. Stephen's
The stained glass in the chapel now stands as a memorial to all who died and suffered at the camp.

Wonderful people who have studied Stanley and written books on it gladly met with my Grandma and showed us around!

While visiting the apartment home my Mom was raised in we stumbled upon this, The LDS Hong Kong Temple! I was so amazed that my family literally lived steps from where the temple would one day be!!!

In China, they give you these gloves to eat with so you don't get dirty hands and what not, awesome!
Toy Story Land was legit

NE Ne! This is my favorite of all your posts for your trips. I would love to go to Hong Kong one day. It looks so beautiful. I love that you got to go visit you ancestors graves and that your family only lived a few blocks from the Temple. So crazy. As well I LOVED all of the photos of DLAND! Did you eat with those gloves on for all of your meals there or just that one? haha. Love you Ne Ne!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, that is so neat about the temple being so close to where your mom lived, the temple looks gorgeous. And Disneyland looks so fun, I would love to visit one of the other Disneylands some day.
ReplyDeleteWow, what memories! Seems like a very meaningful place to visit for your family. Neat!
ReplyDeleteI'm still laughing at the pic of you at DLand with oblivious tourists walking in front of the camera! hahaha
