Good to hear from you. Sorry we didn't have a chance to talk at CAJE. I
didn't see you in the cafeteria Thursday morning. I hope all work's out well
for you in Hong Kong.Shabbat Shalom...

> Hey Everybody!
>
> This is my official hello from Hong Kong!  I arrived here on Tuesday
afternoon, after a 15-hour flight from Las Vegas.
> The flight was wonderful, and all of my belongings made it here as well,
so I am off to a great start!  I have had an exciting time so far, despite
the jet-lag.  I am staying in the Bishop Lei International House, a hotel
that is an 8-minute walk from the building which houses the United Jewish
Congregation (where I am working) and the Jewish Community Center.  I'm on
the 21st floor, with a wonderful view of the city, the harbor, and the
Kowloon side of Hong Kong, plus the mountainous areas in the distance.  In
the evening on the day I arrived, there was a beautiful rainbow over the
harbor, and I took a photo of it out my window.  I'll send it along when I
can...
>
> Hong Kong seems like an exciting place, and I can't wait to get out and do
some exploring.  It is very humid here, and this island is very hilly -- I'm
not complaining, just pointing out the contrast from the flatness of St.
Louis and the dryness of Denver!  I'm glad I'll be getting a good amount of
exercise, walking up those hills!
>
> The day after I arrived, I looked at about 10 different apartments, and
hopefully I will come to some kind of decision about living arrangements
soon.  The cost of living is very high here, and apartments are quite small,
yet still expensive.  As for the job, I have met most of the office staff,
and a few congregants so far, and everyone seems very warm and friendly.  I
am really excited about leading my first Shabbat service here tonight!
>
> So, that's it for now!  If there's anyone I may have inadvertently left
out of this email, please pass this along to them!
>
> And... should anyone want to reach me for any reason, the number at the
hotel (I'll be there until the 30th) is:  (852) 2868-0828 (room 2105).  (The
10-10-275 number makes it cheap to call from the u.s. -- something like 6
cents per minute (more info at www.1010275.com)).

> United Jewish Congregation
> 1 Robinson Place
> 70 Robinson Road
> Mid Levels, Hong Kong

> If you are interested in checking out the website of this congregation,
the address is: http://www.ujc.org.hk
