We arrived at about 8:00 p.m. last night and did little more than wash up and fall into bed after being up for 30 hours. Because our internal clocks are not adjusted to HK time yet, we were all up at 5:00 this morning. Since we were all up, we decided to start settling in. After moving a few large pieces of furniture (sorry next-door neighbors whom we haven’t met yet!), we helped each other begin to unpack our bags. After packing clothes, cosmetics, books, and medicine, we had just enough room for each of us to pack a few discretionary items in our suitcases. While helping each other unpack, it was fun to discover just exactly what each of us had chosen to bring. I brought juggling balls. Annika brought her bead kit. Elise brought her sticker collection. But the biggest surprise was that Julie brought her held-held garlic press.
When we arrived in Hong Kong, our kitchen was a little Spartan. We haven’t had a chance to properly outfit our kitchen, so currently it consists of four coffee mugs, four each of spoons, forks and knifes, four bowls, four small plates, two pots, and . . . a garlic press.
I’m glad I married a women who has her priorities straight. She may be willing to travel the world, but not with out her garlic press.
