HAT in SEA

Have been traveling since January 6th. Spent some time in Hong Kong. NOTHING purchased as gift. Spent time in Singapore. NOTHING purchased as gift. Spent time in Malaysia. Purchased in one sitting over $100 worth of batik. C'est la vie.

So much to see, so little time to blog. Even less time to write emails. Ate too much. Pants do not fit. Had to purchase extra big batik skirts in order to fit around expanding waistline.

Have taken almost 600 photos so far. Memory card only halfway full. Many, many gallery photos to be posted - soon.

Have eaten and seen so far:
rat noodles
sea cockroaches
pig ears
deer head
thousand-year old ginseng, worth 1.5 million HK dollars
blood clams

Have visited and conversed with:
3 theological seminaries (faculty, staff, students of STM, TTC, and Chung Chi)
4 church groups
4 social activist/ human rights groups
more than 10 sight seeing locations

Gang is well, except for one person, Baby, who is rather dehydrated, and has taken ill. Two professors have been running amok w/ details and currency exchange figures. All are well-fed and happy.

Much, much more to come...
