Unification Church Missionaries Enjoy preparing for the New Year in Hong Kong

It was delightful preparing various kinds of food for the holidays. We tried to prepare simply but significantly-such as going very early to the central market and purchasing live fish and shrimps at Aberdeen, Hong Kong’s famous fishing community.

Our shopping day had the most beautiful weather in weeks. In the afternoon of November 3 we rode by ferry to Lantau Island, much larger and newer than Hong Kong Island itself. We visited a Buddhist monastery that rested high on the ·hills. The scenery along the way by bus was breathtaking. Remembering a speech about an ideal landscape, I felt the rugged and varied shapes of mountains reaching up everywhere while the sea and reservoirs glistened here and there would certainly qualify. Then in the evening we saw “The King and I.”
