I can't believe I have been here 8 months, time sure has passed by quickly. There is so much I haven't seen but what can I say, it is a HUGE country!!!
The weather has been cooler this week, today there is a light mist which is nice but soon the dreaded HOT & HUMID weather will be back. I guess I should look on the positive side and be thankful I am not in the cold, snowy weather they are experiencing in Minnesota.
The month of February I did not venture outside of Hong Kong which is the only month I have not traveled. With no traveling I have been able to experience more of Hong Kong and hang out with friends.
Beginning of February we celebrated my friend Belinda's 30th birthday at the horse races. Every Wednesday night in Hong Kong is race night but the month of February they were running a special promotion called "Night at the Races" which was a spin off of Sex in the City. One of the bars located in the track offered free appetizers, one free cosmo, manicures, and palm reading. It was a perfect setting, 3rd floor all glass doors so you could walk out on the deck and watch the horse races. It was amazing, felt like you were right there on the track.

Friends in photos (Darcy & Jay, Belinda, Leith & I, this was around 1 am)Valentine's Day was observed at my friend Rani's place, we opted for girls night of strawberry mojitos, fabulous food, and watched the movie Revelutionary Road. I gotta say, the movie selection was not the best for Valentine's Day!!! It was great to hang out with my friends Christine, Belinda, Leith, and Rani.
I had my first party at my apartment, the theme was "Sex in the City". It was more about serving Cosmopolitans and hanging out with girlfriends than a true theme pary even though I did have pink napkins. The food was very American, meat tray, cheese tray, dips, fruit, veggies, sushi (ok, that probably isn't so American but you gotta have sushi at a Sex in the City party), cupcakes (they were beautiful & yummy see photo), cream puffs, carmel brownies (from my lovely Mankato friend Nicole) and chex mix (homemade by my mother and shipped from the US, it was a BIG hit). I usally make a fabulous Cosmopolitan in the US but I was rather challenged here as the triple sec I purchased in Hong Kong contained 40% alcohol compared to US Triple Sec is 15% alcohol. I had to experiment with portions before the girls arrived and mixed a pitcher and did a "taste test" for each batch:) We ate, drank, played some Sex in the city trivia games, and watched the movie.
It was a great time my girlfriends which are quite lovely and Hong Kong would not been as enjoyable without knowing each and everyone of them.
