I completely forgot to mention Sam's new glasses in the last blog! The first night we were in Hong Kong we went to a downtown section to do some shopping and eat local food. While shopping Sam found the pair of black rimmed glasses you see him wearing in the picture. He put them on and said to me: "What do you think?" I laughed at first then I said "They actually look good." He then totally surprised me by buying them and immediately putting them on! I could not believe that this was the same guy who had brought only two ties and two shirts to a three day event and most of them had stains on them! I said to him: "Do you know you just bought an accessory!?" I may have mentioned it before but many people in China wear glasses that they don't need. It's a style. Lots of times they don't even have lenses in them. Which is why Sam's reply to my astonishment was: "Hey, I'm unpredictable and at least they have lenses in them." He's been telling people they are part of his "Clark Kent" disguise and he loves to say "Wait a minute, I can't see. Let me take off my glasses." Ha!
You guys look so cute, glad to see you look so good! Still jealous you got to go to Hong Kong!
ReplyDeleteHey Ashley :) It's Malina! I had read your blog a few months back when your mom was visiting us and told me about it. It was when you were having the water leak in your apartment. I didn't get to comment at the time on any of it, but I found it all entertaining! I couldn't remember the address to your blog after that (I was using Linda's computer at the time) so I haven't been able to keep up with it! Your mom is visiting again and told me the blog's address and I am catching up on your adventures. I can't tell you how many times I have laughed. This blog is one of my favorites. Especially Sam's "Wait a minute, I can't see. Let me take off my glasses." line. So funny!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are adjusting to life in China well. I have to say I really admire you for doing this. I can't imagine moving to a foreign country. I would probably go somewhere like France personally, but even that is daunting :) I'm living vicariously through your blogs though!
