Hi Halyna! Yes, I have definately missed you on here! I had wondered what happend. You are SO Blessed to be able to go to Hong Kong! Have you learned how to speak any Mandarin Chinese, there? Way! Knee-How-Mah? That Is Hello, How are you, in Mandarin Chinese. If you understand the tones, then you can say it. I can type the phonetical spelling but don't know how to convey the tones, yet. The 5 tones they have for speaking words with, is what makes it so difficult for me to learn... If you understad a little about their languange, then you know exactly what I mean.
Did you get home sick, missing us Seagal Sisters on here? I know when ever I go to visit my family up in North Louisiana, at the end of July for my oldest daghters Birthday with my family, I will Miss Yall SO MUCH! I can bring my lap top with me, but I do not have internet services, on it. We only have internet services on our desk top computer. I will go through withdrawal, LOL!!! Seriously, I will miss yall, at the end of July, very much!
I hope you had a nice flight and are having fun, there. Wish I could travel like that. There are so many places I would love to see, and so many friends and people to visit, in other countries. Maybe one day. I would Love to visit Tibet, Hong Kong, Moscow Russia, Kavrov Russia, Regia Latvia, The Philipeans, Anchorage Alaska, The Somian Islands, Israel, Australia, Irland, and a few other places...
I am glad you understand my Russian. I did say, "Hello, How are you? I am doing very good, Thank you. I speak a little Russian, I only understad a little Russian." then in English said I wish I knew more....Then at the end, I said I Love You Sister- in Russian, and Good Night, and See You Later, in Russian.... I am glad you do understand some of my Russian.... I just wish I had the time, right now, to study more....one day....
I forgot to ask you, are the number characters and pronucation of those characters, the same in Hong Kong as they are in China & Tiawan (Mandarin Chinese Number characters)? I do know ALL the numbers (Read, Write & Say). That is the easiest.... e, r, sun, soo, oh, lee-o, chee, bah, joe, tsoo, tsoo-e, tsoo-r, tsoo-sun, tsoo-soo,..... I did know how to write my name in Mandarin Chinese, my frined from Bejing China wrote for me, but I can't find the book that they had written it down in, for me....
Will you be going to any festivals? I love the beautiful dresses the women wear to various festivals. The ones in Tibet, are extremely Beautiful, with so much hand mand artistic & colorful expression.... I wish I could sew and embrodiery as good as I do crochey...then I could make dresses like that, myself. I have pleanty of material, yarn, decorative button, etc....
What is your favorit food to eat, while in Hong Kong? I love to eat the Chinese steamed vegetables, various Chinese vegetable soups and baked fish with vegetables... I am mostly vegetarian, except for eating some fish & chicken.
Speaking of food, I collect internationl cook books. I have Yan-Kit's Classic Chinese Cook Book, The Essential Thai Cook Book, Please To The Table -The Russian Cook Book, The Little Guides Vegetarian Cook Book (with various international recipes), Oriental Cooking, Irish Country Cooking, The Lebenese Cook Book, The Greek Cook Book, Low-Fat Ways To Cook Fish & Shell Fish (with a collection of various international recipes), Corn Recipe From The Indians, The Art of American Indian Cooking, etc.....Have you ever heard of any of those cook books?

Love Always Your Sister, Eagle/Stacey
