It's with conflicting emotions that we say goodbye to our time in Hong Kong. It's been a time of stretching ourselves with new experiences, new foods, different cultures, hotter climate, tighter living conditions, not<br />
only with millions of other people, but with sharing a small place with each other! On one hand we will<span style="background-color: white;">, have Ryan, Jill, Hunter, Keegan, and a new </span><span style="background-color: white;">grand baby </span><span style="background-color: white;">fairly close by in Hafford Sask, but then we will be leaving Kylie, Jocelyn, and Rachel here, and it will be difficult to say goodbye to them.The last few weeks, we have been trying to see as many things as possible </span><span style="background-color: white;">before we leave. In this last blog it will be a kind of hodgepodge of a few of the places and things we've been doing as we also get ready to return home</span><span style="background-color: white;">! I think we are ready to come back, especially as it heats up here!!!</span><br />

The attack did come 8 hours after Pearl Harbor, and the Japanese thought they would have some difficulty taking the area we were in,<br /> however it proved an easy target, as they came through right where we were. I am still reading about <br />the war, but think the mountain was defended mainly by the British, as about 2000 Canadian soldiers<br /> had arrived only about 3 weeks earlier. The Canadians were very raw rookies and didn't think they would be seeing any combat soon. I believe they were still stationed on the island. It was kind of <br />exciting to let your imagine run wild and go back 60 years to what was happening. The reality of war<br /> hit home the next day on the site I wanted to see.</span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">The old control tower at the airport where Americans left under fire in 1975. Most of the soldiers<br /> had left in 73, so the remaining Americans and many refugees were evacuated in a big hurry, <br />mostly by helicopter. You can see the bunkers along the runway where they would have parked <br />their jets during the war. About 2 million refugees left rather than stay under communism, so it<br /> makes you wonder why the American effort to defeat communism(even though some bad things<br /> did happen) was so badly thought of.(60,000 Americans died) American war effort is very much<br /> looked down on in their museums, even though one of Mao's quotes was that communism will <br />spread at the barrel of a gun. The Russians and Chinese who supported the North Vietnamese <br />don't get much bad press either. Also interesting to realize that right after the American presence was<br /> gone from the area, the communists took over nearby Cambodia, which resulted in about 2 million<br /> citizens getting murdered. Any way the trip has inspired me to do a lot of reading about Vietnam, especially the war era.</span></td></tr>

I took a walk through the gardens in our walkway and it the prettiest it's been all year. They must spend a fortune on plants here because they just pull the annuals out and replace the whole bunch every few weeks or so. For awhile they had petunias where all the geraniums are and before that it was impatiens's. There are hundreds of them. All very pretty!<br />

It was originally called Heung Kong Tsai, or Hong Kong Minor. When the first foreigners came, they thought the whole island was called Hong Kong and that is how Hong Kong got its name. Hong Kong means ' little fragrant harbor,' named after trees which were burned as incense for worship, and grew in the New Territories. They were then shipped from Aberdeen and exported to other cities in China. In 1845 the town was named Aberdeen after the British Secretary of State for War and the Colonies.<br />

On December 10, 1941 Guam was taken over by the Japanese. It became the only populated U.S. soil to be occupied by another country during WW 11, and was renamed Omiya Jima for the 31 months it was occupied. Concentration camps were established and some 600 Chamorro's were executed. Some were beheaded when the Japanese learned of the Chamorro's effort to feed and hide U.S. Navy radioman George Tweed who escaped in the initial invasion. The American forces liberated Guam on July 21, 1944, and this day is still celebrated each year with a national holiday.</span><br />
