Zoom tip #127: While waiting for the start of my class, I play videos of Golden Retriever puppies for early arrivers. #calmsthenerves #puppytherapy #seeadogsendadog
Everyone quarantined pets when we thought a Hong Kong dog tested positive. The World Health Organization (WHO) proved dogs do not get it and people released their dogs from seclusion. Moral: WHO let the dogs out! #covid19 #humoristhebestmedicine
This is containment in Hong Kong. The boys and I were doing PE games on the podium when an estate employee came by and checked our temperatures. #justchecking #coronaviruschronicles #onlinelearning
Hk vs. USA Covid-19 cases. HK has experience from SARS and so everyone quickly followed containment policies. Macau even just discharged their last case with no deaths. Watching news, govt announcements, CDC from the US it appears they are still on a learning curve, and thus the exponential growth of cases. Hope it becomes a logistic curve soon. #covid-19 #maybemasks #prayforhealing #prayforleaders
We had a great day hiking with some local friends! This view is from Pyramid Point, a goal peak of mine, looking out toward the Ma On Shan Plateau and Sai Kung. #naturelover #thisishongkong #freshairnomasks
The boys and I explored the caves real pirate Cheung Po Tsai used to hide his loot. We found no loot (but there were some masks!). #cheungchau #piratesofthesouthchinasea
With all the factories closed in China due to #covid19 we have been having beautiful, non-polluted days with views of China 15 miles away. #silverlining #prayforhealing
Taking time to get some physical activity outside, the boys play games I have devised using rolling dice, hopping steps, and hoola-hooping 😂 #coronaviruschronicles #bdoesg1 #hdoesg2 #homeschooling
When the city is full of contagion and panic, it is always good to go out into the peace of nature, God’s peace. #lionrock #thisishongkong #naturelover
A Honeycomb Grouper is one of the smallest size of groupers. It has very beautiful markings and was curious of my approach. #thailand2020 #kothalu #naturelover
We saw lots of Great Blue Clams while snorkeling around Ko Thalu, Thailand. They can live around 100 years and the largest weigh over 500 pounds! #thailand2020 #kothalu #naturelover
Hudson has been into stargazing at night so when asked what we should make on the beach, he said a galaxy! It has lasted three days so far! #thailand2020 #hdoesg2 #galaxyofshells
Spicy Papaya Salad at Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. I wanted it after seeing it handmade a year ago and the wait was worth it. Delicious, yet my mouth was on fire! #thailand2020
Crab World Thailand with working Volcano, Volcano Tunnel, Moat, and live crabs. Located at a beach on the Gulf of Thailand. #thailand2020 #bdoesg1 #hdoesg2
The boys and I built Crab World Thailand out on the beach. This guy was the main attraction called “Big Eyes” by the boys. #thailand2020 #gulfofthailand
Thankful for my sweetheart Shannon and all the joys and tears we get to go through together. It is wonderful to share life with my brave traveling companion, detailed planner, and loving wife. #cny2020 #leetungavenue
Perhaps it was the magic of celebrating Shannon’s birthday, but we finally caught the elusive Meridian Star ferry across Victoria Harbour today! #starferry #victoryatlast #goalcompleted
The rescued-from-rubbish orchids have sent up 3 flower stalks this year. Annnnndddd...I found several more orchids in the rubbish this year to try to coax back to life. #orchidlover #rubbishtreasures
A fishing boat flotilla gathers at the point where the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge comes up out of a tunnel in the South China Sea. HK’s Lantau Island looms in the background. #macau2020 #HZMbridge
Lord Stowe’s Bakery egg tart from Taipa Village, both sweet and buttery, enjoyed in a historic Taipa Market (1st built 1886). #macau2020 #lordstowesbakery #nomnom
Macau is a Special Administration Region (SAR) of China like Hong Kong, but was a Portuguese colony instead. It is scheduled to fully belong to China in 2049. This is China’s People’s Liberation Army building in Macau, right next to the Venetian, to maintain its protection over the region. #macau2020
Wow! The House of Dancing Water did not disappoint! Acrobatics, hi-wire acts, motorcycle jumps, high diving, ballet, acting, and a splash zone (we were in it 😂). #houseofdancingwater #macau2020
