The Best Dim Sum I've had in Five Years

---

Before meeting my friend for dim sum, I wandered around Wan Chai for about an hour. I thought I'd been there before and was surprised to realize none of it looked familiar to me. But it made the wander even more enjoyable since I was constantly discovering new things around each corner.

I met my friend around noon and we went to a well-known seafood and dim sum restaurant. It was--without a doubt--the best dim sum I've ever had. We spent three hours stuffing ourselves silly and catching up and talking about future plans.

After she went back to the mainland for the holiday, I shopped a little, had some coffee, and decided to check out the laser light show again. I hadn't seen it in years and forgot how huge the crowds were. While it's a bit silly, it is fun.

Not wanting to go back to the empty apartment just yet (it's not exactly cozy or comfortable), I decided to go to a favorite Irish pub in TST for a proper pint of Guinness. The Irish drinking songs were on full blast and I swear there was arm wrestling going on in the next room. I decided to just duck down and read my book and relax.

Will you be living...
and teaching English in Hong Kong?

No.
I have no intention to ever do that. Why do you ask?

Will you be living...
I asked because you mentioned your apartment. My son recently taught English as a second language in Bangkok, and was curious as to what it would be like to do so in Hong Kong if you were moving there as opposed to mainland China which we just visited...and he was not impressed!

Got it.
The apt isn't mine, it belongs to my university. That said, housing in HK is tiny and expensive. I lived in an apt in Bkk last summer as well and I'd guess the size is on par. I think many in Bkk are studios without real kitchens, while apts in China and HK usually have kitchens, even if they are small.
