Touring Hong Kong: Visiting Vicky's "Sister" in Lo Wu

OK, first I need to explain that I've known Vicky for going on 2 years and I've only ever known about her brother... suddenly she started talking about needing to visit her "sister" while in Hong Kong.  After a bit of discussion, I finally realized that paternal cousins are referred to as your brother and sister as well.  I'm always learning a bit more about Chinese culture.

Mu Hua (Vicky's sister), Guo Qiang (her husband), and their children Rui Juan (their daughter, also called Apple, who is Vicky's favorite niece), and Fu Wai (their son, who I got to name Frank). Live a long bus ride north of the Shatin district where we are staying.  I got a nice front seat on the upper level of the bus where I was able to take a nice sunset photo (not too bad for a moving bus).  We had dinner in a local mall and then they took us back to their development to see their house.  Their building is 40 stories high and houses over 600 families (16 to a floor).  Each apartment is maybe 1000 sq. ft. and has a small kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a small bath.
