Today was great fun. We took the students to Ocean Park on Hong Kong Island. It is a combination of a great zoo, aquarium, sea world, and six flags. Notice in the dolphin show pictures that you can see large container ships passing by.... watching a dolphin show while looking out over the South China Sea. Enjoy the many pictures from Ocean Park.
The two notable events today were:
1) A crazy lady jumping into the harbor tonight from the sea wall... this drew an ambulance, a fire truck, four police vans, and a police boat. They eventually sent in a fireman rescue swimmer and got her out. I am pretty sure she has some special lodging tonight compliments of the Hong Kong Police and the Mental Health Dept.
2) One of the double decker busses that some of our students were on coming back from Ocean Park got into an accident (fender bender). They got to sit on the bus for almost an hour until everyone could be transferred to other busses... wouldn't have made sense to bring an empty bus rather than stuff a few on each bus that passes... 'just saying' (as Alyssa would say).
One last picture for fun... in fact, I haven't even showed the students yet. The last picture is of a small little friend that was in the stairway today... it was moving when I first saw it, but then... never mind, children may be reading. I did place my faculty ID next to it to help give you a size perspective. It is a little blurry, but you get the idea.
Tomorrow is laundry day and a few other last site seeing attractions.

Good night everyone.
After this Hong Kong stay, how many of your students wish to live in a city with millions of people? Did they all get to try kimchi yet?
