Ryan's First Weekend Home

Ryan was finally given permission to come back to Hong Kong! After weeks of visas, passports and medical checks, Ryan is an official resident of China. 

Ryan's passports, health certificate and chest x-ray...all you need to be a China resident
We spent the weekend running errands, trying out new restaurants and a little site seeing. First off, visiting a Belgium beer bar Ryan has gone to before for drinks.

My fish and chips
Trip to Ikea to get some toys for Ryan
We love living in a harbor with fresh seafood available
Sunday we traveled to Park Island. Our initial plan was to check out the beaches and hang out, but with the weather being a chill 75 degrees and mostly cloudy (I know, how terrible!) we decided to check out some of the sites instead. We were told about a Noah's Ark attraction through Ryan's mom and wanted to check it out. They have made a true-to-size recreation of Noah's Ark on this tiny island, which houses exhibits and a hotel. We wandered through the gardens and museums before taking a hike up the hill to a solar tower.

Great to have Ryan back in Hong Kong!
Ryan actually got an extended weekend so he could apply for his Hong Kong ID on Monday. He is officially a resident of 3 countries and I will follow soon becoming a Hong Kong resident! He took off this morning early for some traveling around China to visit suppliers and will be back for another fun weekend on Friday!
