Monsoon Season

It has been a few rainy days and there is no end in sight to the rain. It is raining so hard that you can barely see outside of the window with all the sheets of rain. Needlessly to say staying indoors is the way to go without getting wet. The monsoon season usually lasts until June. Though I do have to venture out today to meet up with a bible study group. The bible study group is the same one in Toronto except for those who have moved back to Hong Kong. It should be a nice gathering and we are planning to go out for dinner with a couple who recently got married in Rome.

This week is also the Dragon Boat festival which is on May 28. So, yesterday I got a chance to see some Chinese Dumplings on sale for the festival. There are various kinds some with meat, others that are vegetarian, and even ones that are sweet. Here is a picture of the various kinds. you can also get the frozen variety kind as well.
While in the mall taking a look at the Chinese Dumplings, I came across a restaurant that I have not seen in Canada for many years except in Vancouver. Now they have one in Hong Kong at Sha Tin. Quite a surprise to see one across the ocean and offering the same fare as its counterpart in the west coast.

Lastly a couple of days ago I received an offer to teach high school chemistry in Hong Kong. It is a tempting offer and it would be nice to stay in the city for another year. I wonder if the community would let me?
