The surprise comes when cutting open the fruit. It tastes “red”, just like the usual melon we know. The bright yellow color deceives my taste buds.
Elder McAllister photographed the process of his apartment A/C repair. This shows the opened window with the outside unit.
The bamboo poles create the scaffolding. This never looks safe to me but has been the
method for building and repairing for years.
Notice the bamboo poles fastened together to create a safe
area for workers.
Voilà!! Let the A/C
repair begin.
Note this same pattern used on tasks throughout the city.
The larger projects baffle my mind.
Even tall buildings receive face lifts.
We frequently walk beneath ongoing projects and feel
perfectly safe.
Last summer we visited the Hong Kong temple (currently
undergoing renovations) and found the building wrapped in white plastic with
some visible bamboo “shelves” for workers.
Today we begin to see the progress. Asian members are anxious for the
reopening. Everyone misses attending the
temple.
St. John’s cathedral rests quietly amidst the sky scrapers
of the business district.
The rows and rows of white floral displays made me feel they
were preparing for a wedding.
Then, the casket arrived – this would be a funeral.
Note the endless rows and rows of gorgeous bouquets. White represents mourning in many cultures.
We delighted in connecting with family across the ocean to
celebrate Grandpa Arlo’s birthday with traditional burgers and shakes.
Outside the Shake Shack we see the ferry awaiting a new load
of travelers and the TST clock tower.
Hong Kong is beautiful. We enjoy
serving here.
