Hong Kong Museum Of History

Today we tried to go to Teddy Bear Kingdom - after a lot of walking and a Ferry ride, and more walking, we found out it no longer exists. Poor Chase was SO sad. Next on our see/do list was the Space Museum - well, it was closed until 1 p.m. (and we were right outside it at 11 a.m.)

So we hopped a cab to the Hong Kong Museum of History. Such an interesting place! The exhibits were massive in size, and they actually recreated an old town to show how the British and wealthy Chinese lived. And then, exhausted, we ate some lunch and headed home via Star Ferry. Now for a rest before Chase's art class.




















These girls stopped me to ask some questions for a survey.
So I had them pose with the girls.
Mads was NOT happy about the situation.
I actually get this look from Mads just about every time I put her down.















Inside the Museum of History...
Bun towers and Chinese dragon costumes.















Chinese opera traditional dress...















Giant guardians made to ward off evil spirits...




















A very small part of the reconstructed British town...




















And of course, a snack for Chase...















And one of the things I love most about Hong Kong - the old Junks!
