Saint Paul MN - Labor Day Weekend BBQ





Hotter than the day before and the humidity came back in - but it was still more comfortable than every day over the last two weeks of travel.

Saint Paul MN - a perfect day for a wedding on Harriet Island












Great day for the Dolan's and a perfect day to celebrate for Jenna and Mike along the Mississippi at Harriet Island.

Hong Kong - day and night and the streets are still full


















Hong Kong truly is a 24 hour city.  It takes on a whole different life once the sun sets and everything lights up - and the streets continue to be full of people.
Had a great opportunity to get together with an old mate from Sydney that has settled in to Hong Kong and is raising his family here.  Our paths haven't crossed since 1999 so it was great fun to get together - but not enough time to get caught up.  Sounds like it will take another trip!

Hong Kong - so much stuffed in so little space













Hong Kong is always active, electric and chaotic - and very very likable.
There are just people everywhere and things happening all around you - and it is hotter and more humid then everywhere else on this trip...and that is hard to imagine until I arrived.

Kuala Lumpur Malaysia - hot, humid and more rain








































It appears that the humidity keeps going up and then pop we get a storm.  Then we go through the cycle again.  After it rains the humidity is still there and thick - it just gets thicker.
Had a some time between meetings so wandered through Chinatown and over towards some of the older historical buildings and the National Mosque.
A very interesting and diverse city - you see a bit of everything as you wander through the streets.
And you have to love a city where you wander by holes in the street that it looks like if you jump in you may go to the center of the world....the wonderful world of fast, explosive growing cities - you never know what you may be next to what and what other strange wonder you may find when you put the old with the new.
