Mrs.Corso,
On our short trip on the boat, we did not see ANY fish or whales in the water. But we saw plenty of live fish in buckets in the fishing village at the markets. Jose had to cover his nose several times because of the smell. We did see a vertebra of a whale hanging on one of the stands.

Mrs. Edwards,
Jose had a blast on the ferry boats. It is one of the main transportation to get around in Hong Kong, as the city is surrounded by a lot of water.
We have not seen a Build-a-Bear store here.

Did he have fun on the ferry boat? We are glad that Jose made some more bear friends. We are wondering if there is a Build-A-Bear store in Hong Kong. If so, will you be visiting it? Wouldn't it be fun if Jose could bring home a Chinese friend? We loved seeing the pictures of Jose traveling in Hong Kong. Did he have fun on the ferry boat?

It certainly seems that Jose is quite busy. I hope he is doing his homework and getting some sleep. You two may have to rein him in! Anita wants to know how to say "teacher" and "student" in Chinese!? The webcam experience this morning was incredible. I loved watching Audrey and Lydia's faces. Blessings! Hello!
