Fun Food!

My favorite Noodle Dish - Fried Egg and Noodels (I've eaten it 25 times probably. It only costs $.80) 

My favorite breakfast here. Pancakes, homemade blueberry syrup, and bananas. BOMB!

Duck Tongue - part of dinner last night with some friends. They took us out.

Pork Ribs - part of dinner last night, not bad at all.

Corn Cake - part of dinner last night, really good. It had sugar on it.

Pig Ear - part of dinner last night. I actually ate one. It was VERY different. The white stuff was cartilage...chewy and crunchy.

The leftover bones, fish skeletons, etc. Had some whole fish too, minus the head. Then just spit out the bones.

Quite an evening of food!

Round #1 of Pictures

So, I'm wanting to use this blog to keep family and friends updated on life across the world. I'm intending to udpate this blog with pictures/captions at least once a week for the next 5 months. We'll see after that. Hope this gives you a glimpse into life here.

This was some pizza from California Pizza Kitchen in Hong Kong. It was so good.

One of my bigger breakfasts here in my apartment. Watermelon ($.40), mango ($.50), eggs ($.35), and homemade banana bread (priceless).

 On top of the wall in a city, with a temple in the background.

Me...horseriding in the mountains. Who would have guessed?

In the mountains we visited a family of nomads. We were their special guests. They treated us to homemade yak dumplings.

Another place we visited, we were hosted and treated to yogurt, snacks, fruit and tea.

The colors of the prayer flags with the sky backdrop was pretty cool.

One of our pit stops during the 43 mile adventure.

My first day in country. The contrast between huge building and mountain really sums up this place. There is a lot of both of these.

Our first mouse. Glue trap successful.

Location of the first dunking I've seen here.

My first attempt at blogging.

We'll see how this works.
