Hong Kong Christmas

This week I was taking pictures of Christmas around Hong Kong.

This guy appears to be the mascot of our complex.  He almost made our Christmas card - maybe next year.

Not sure how the toadstools fit into Christmas but they were there.

What a tree???

Patchwork Reindeer....

Another view

Up close shot of the tree - it appears to be knit.

So we had a few deliveries this week from our shopping last week:
Boxes of light fixtures to hopefully be installed next week.

New TV Stand - Recycled Teak Wood from Indonesia

Another view of the living room.
Yesterday we visited a lighting store a few blocks to find small fixtures for our 2 small bedrooms (one is a closet).  We managed to purchase 2 light fixtures, bulbs and installation with very little english.  We tried to negotiate the electrician to install our 3 already purchased  fixtures - but the english did not get there.  So we will have to negotiate when the electrician arrives.  And we pointed to Wednesday afternoon for installation, but looking at the paperwork is looks like it will be Saturday.  We will just have to see when the phone rings.

Here are some other oddities I saw around this weekend:

All week the weather has been rainy.  This morning when I got up it was somewhat clear - but the clouds seem to hug the mountains.  There were quit a few days I could not even see the building to the right of the picture and it is in our complex.

Yes - that is a bride in the mall.  This afternoon as I was walking though the mall to find Patrick I followed this bride - not sure where she was going...

Then I found Patrick with less hair.  Yes he set a record in time between haircuts - a few days over 11 weeks.

Then for dinner tonight we had Mexican - 1st time since we have been here.

I forgot how good Tequila tastes....
So next week we should have lights in every room - the Master Bedroom bulb broke today (Yes - fell from it's fixture, the screw part is still up there) and we will be packing for the US.
