Observations

Some of the general observations of the way things are:

There are women everywhere washing glass doors, sweeping, washing the walls of the walking tunnel, etc. I'm wondering if the huge number of people that are always everywhere is a factor in this.

Photo IDs: We are working toward having the norm here--we had to get more passport photos in order to get what we needed. We have our passports, we might have to get Kong Kong ID cards, Karis has her school ID with passport photo, we both have university ID cards with passport photos. I have to have a gym photo ID. We have to have passport photos to get our visas into mainland China.

Everyone is incredibly helpful when we look confused :)
