DEC 14, 14 .. CHEUNG CHAU .. HONG KONG ..

Let's begin with a small map of the Hong Kong Metropolitan Area.  

Do all of you see the small island .. Cheung Chau .. above?

You don't? Let me give you a small hint! 

Towards the bottom left of the above photo is a BLACK ARROW. Get it? Got it? Good!

Hum-m-m-m .. Today is the second Sunday in the month .. I think I will check my Hong Kong Meeting List.


Do I see a meeting over on Cheung Chau Island?  



Just a minute please. Let me get out my reading glasses .. the print sure is small! 


How about that! A meeting in Cheung Chau on the second Sunday of the month!

Are all of you ready to go with me to Cheung Chau for a meeting?

Here we all go!

Because Cheung Chau is an ISLAND .. we will have to take a ferry to get there.


The FAST FERRY takes 30-minutes.  The SLOW FERRY takes 1-hour.  I think we will take the FAST FERRY!


My (elder citizen) fare was 2 HKG Dollars or 26-cents US!




The above and below photos were taken looking towards the back of the ferry.



The below photo was taken looking forward from the back of the ferry.


OH MY GOODNESS! What on earth have I just 'stumbled upon'!





Mister Cheung Chau Chinese Chamber Of Commerce! You need to 'get the word out' about Cheung Chau!


Oh Kind Sir! Just open your eyes!  Where on this good earth HAVE YOU BEEN KIND SIR?

Have you opened up your eyes real wide Kind Sir? Do you see the people Kind Sir! /Respectively signed by the/ .. Cheung Chau Chinese Chamber Of Commerce!






I need a meeting! Where exactly have I been hiding out and missing Cheung Chau?!

Cheung Chau IS a real place!



Complete with modern transportation for visitors!



And a source of local food production!


Where was I? I am all-shook-up thinking about THIS discovery!  

Got it! A meeting! I NEED a meeting!



In the above photo .. straight ahead almost dead-center is a table behind the round vertical pole supporting the red Budweiser canopy.  This was our meeting table.

How fitting to have a meeting under a Budweiser sign!


Below is OUR MEETING TABLE!


One of the guys got a full banana split!  The others got fancy coffee!


We enjoyed a real meeting complete with a standard format and readings. The topic was: Relationships.

How special it is to be going to meetings here in the greater Hong Kong Metropolitan Area.

The guys all said .. in unison .. we call this a 'group consciousness' decision .. 

"Waiter, will you please take a photo of us!"


Home we go back to Hong Kong!

Via the FAST FERRY!


In Sobriety .. Don't Forget ..


GOT IT?!

DEC 10, 14 .. GOOD ADVICE FROM HONG KONG !



Hit me again dealer!


Once more and I am good!


I am surprised by this public acknowledgement of the issue here in China.

The Chinese language arm of the fellowship here in Hong Kong is from small to infinitesimal!
