Emily & Jacky in Hong Kong

I tend to go back to Hong Kong every 2 years or so to catch up with family and friends. I have an extremely large family with mum having 6 siblings and dad 7, add in their wives, children and cousins visiting family can take many days.
I have left alot of photos out and because it's a second home to me I tend to take less pictures. Here is a few that I would like to share.
We spent Christmas Eve with some of Dads family, it was a great night with plenty of eating, games and presents!

Group photo!
The next day was about paying respect to my Grandparents (dad’s side) whom had passed away. I guess it’s not usually something that you would take a picture of, but I was very close to my grandmother and I needed to have something I could refer to when times get tough.



Most of Jacky's family are now living in Canada, with the exception of his Grandfather. Despite being in his 80's he still rides a bike, grows his own vegetables and looks after 2 dogs. He loves Hong Kong, has lived there all his life and refuses to move to Australia or Canada.


There pictures below were taken when we attempted to go look at the Christmas lights display. There was just too many people! Even the lines to catch the bus or MTR home was very long. When we finally got on the bus we took a pciture of all the people still waiting.

My Aunty gave me a diamond Chanel set! I had to remain very composed.

Wendy asked me if I had bought any shoes, so I thought that I would take a picture of a few pairs that I bought. There's about another 4 pairs missing from this picture but I had already packed it away. When you buy new shoes you must buy a new bag to keep the shoe company...it's only fair.

Jacky bought me a diamond ring, 18k white gold with 0.63 karat worth of diamonds...pretty..
