One A Day...

Received one card yesterday from Hong Kong and one today from Baltimore, Maryland.  Can two places be any different or farther apart?  Both very beautiful places! 

The description on the card (HK-28255):  "Tai O is on the westernmost tip of Lantau Island.  Most villagers are fishermen who also sell dried seafood and the pungent shrimp paste.  They live in stilt houses built with waterproof wood logs."  I watched a documentary on the making of shrimp paste.  It was a very interesting show.  I like that kind of thing.  Everyone there eats shrimp paste as a staple of their diet and it is very yummy, yet very stinky and you don't even want to know how they make it!
 


Very cool Baltimore, Maryland card!  I like it.  Baltimore looks like such a fascinating and exciting city!  I will always remember it as the place where Meg Ryan's character lives in "Sleepless In Seattle", a movie I've seen dozens of times.  :o)



Have fun!
