Hell Yea! Saying “Hi!” to Lil’ Bro Jonathan in Hong Kong (March 10, 2016)



Dearest Love of My Life,

One day after acquiring my awesome red BEARd, I got to show it off to my adopted brother-in-law Jonathan Tenhunen. 

Don’t tell Kristin and Davin, but he is my favorite of the Tenhunen Sibling Trio. He is one cool dude. He’s a bit more down to earth, and actually on the “normal-human” scale unlike his older siblings who are two of my favorite super intelligent weirdos.

Today we got to have a fun family adventure visiting temples around Hong Kong. The Tenhunen siblings were just out to spend time together and see some cool stuff, but I was looking for any sign that bears could be happy living in Hong Kong.

The first thing I noticed was that Bears are not represented in the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals. That honestly made me feel pretty unwelcome. In addition, I saw another giant rabbit in Hong Kong. This one, along with 11 other animals representing each of the other Zodiac animals, was black and stood very still. I think if you gave them money they would have moved for us but we were too cheap—I mean frugal—to pay anything so we didn’t get to find out.

People seemed more interested in taking pictures with the animals than in paying them for their skill at standing still, so it doesn’t look like any of those fellows will be able to quit their day jobs any time soon.

At another temple we saw 1,000 golden Buddhas, but no bears. They were very friendly fellows. One of them even blessed Jona and Davin and rubbed their beards and bellies!

The weather in Hong Kong was great! No sun, no humidity, and no heat! It was nice and cold and even sprinkled a little! I loved it! I’m happy that I’ll be able to stay out of hibernation for a little while.

Anyway, Hong Kong was a nice place to visit, but I’d never be able move from glorious San Diego to a place that has elevated 12 animals but not bears, AND which has more of those hideous giant rabbits!

I hope you are doing well! I look forward to continuing my journey home to you.

Sending you 10,000 virtual kisses!


Your Loving Bear Husband,
Erich Tenhunen
