Activities

• Present Shopping
  
• Last night Dinner at Man Wah (fancy Cantonese restaurant at Hotel)
  

Highlight(s)

• The dinner experience at Man Wah - watching Darryl (see Odd Spot for in-joke) carve the Peking Duck at the table. On a little serving table he cut away sections of the crispy skin, then delicatley trimmed away the fat and put the skin in little pancakes with the sauce and spring onion. The rest of the duck was prepared in the kitchen, wok fried with cashews and celery.
  
• Stir Fried Sole - who said HK aint got no soul?
  

Odd Spot(s)

• What happened to our view? When we looked out of the window this morning all of the buildings at Kowloon had disappeared. The newspaper uses the term "Fog".
  
• Our main waiter (there were 10 waiters for 35 patrons) in the restaurant looked like the Chinese version of Darryl Sommers.

• Joc's shoe purchase count = 5 pairs
  
• Maps of Hong Kong count = 6

"Fog"
Our view across to Kowloon this morning. You have to look closely - it's like an optical illusion - the buildings will appear if you stare long enough.
