Mr. Selfish and I have been in the States since Dec. 16th. We have truly enjoyed our time back “home”. Even though we are technically homeless (since we rented out our house), we consider the States to be home.
It has been wonderful to see so many loved ones and enjoy the comforts of home. I especially loved meeting my adorable three month old nephew for the first time and experiencing Christmas through the eyes of my 3 year-old and 6 year-old nephews. Mr. Selfish and I also appreciated all of the delicious food that everyone has been cooking for us. A home cooked meal with family beats eating out at a restaurant every time.
But tomorrow, it’s all coming to an end. We are continuing our selfish year. We have eight more months and about thirty more cities to go. Here’s the map of our itinerary:

Christine, glad to see you continue your trip to Asia. What an adventure! Just to see if you need any help when you are in Hong Kong as my sister is working for a Hostel at Ma Wan – https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/SolarTower?fref=ts.

Thanks Shally! We already have our hotel booked for Hong Kong though. Do you have any recommendations for dim sum though? đŸ˜‰

Honestly, nowhere will disappoint you in Hong Kong for dim sum. Let me know the area you are staying and I can recommend you some. When will you be in Hong Kong and for how many days? Would love you to contribute your journal to Asia Trend – would be interesting..
