This morning we visited the HK Museum of Science. I imagine it’s similar to the Melb Science Museum that I haven’t yet visited. So here, and maybe unusually, we saw the dinosaur exhibit for specimens taken from Lufeng in Yunnan province. It contained a few skeletons and a film - the most important aspect of this is that it’s supposed to be one of the biggest dinosaur finds in the world, which something I never knew. The film showed that the Chinese have made a full sized roof, maybe the size of a football field, over part of the site for visitors to see some of the remaining specimens in situ. We then completed our shopping for Paul. On the way back to the hotel, we found an arcade that was full of shops run by Indians and some Africans - not a Chinese in sight. The shops contained all types of local’s wares and included many of those watches shops the street hawkers would take you to if you ever spent the time to get into an exchange with them.
