Geez not even 1 week in and i'm already getting complacent about writing in the blog.

Let's see... did a little bit of shopping yesterday but the thing that took up most of the time was eating (surprise, surprise)

We didn't eat until after 12 but went to a nice place down near Kowloon Tong where they had Islam food meat buns, nice curry (?!), hot and sour noodles. Followed by a drive down to Sai Kung (we passed the place where a bus crash killed 18 people just two days earlier) and it was really nice down there (it was cooler and the air much nicer) what was really fun were the independant fisherman who were selling their catch from their boats (fish, prawns, crabs, squid, starfish, conch etc) to locals who were standing on the dock - they shouted prices to each other. Money was placed in the stretched out net and the goods were delivered back the same way. The prices were cheaper than buying it at the shops along the waterfront where you would buy the food from them and then give it to the restaurant to cook it for you. Very novel nonetheless.

Cousin Dorothy then took us to a dessert place which had some nice durian sweets (for Ben, not for me). I had a nice "yan gi kum lo" ben had a durian ice drink and was then talked into having durian mochi ( i was roped into eating one of them... it's not that i don't like durian. i just hate burping a couple of hours later and the 'fragance' of the durian comes up and nice fresh ugh...)

After this dessert we headed back out towards Jordan for dinner with family friends. This consisted of fish heads, eel (not for me though), lettuce and fish meat in banana chillis (these were hit and miss, some were hot and some weren't). The dessert was what i went for, they have this wong kum gou (yummy stuff)!!

I've got to put the name of the restaurant down (later) but it's next to the Kings Park Hockey Centre.

Anyway, today was nice and relaxing. Sleep-in a little then head down to Tai Koo Shing for some last minute shopping then back to the apartment for packing in preparation for the flight to London (@00:35). We have organised to meet Dorothy for dinner to each roast goose first though (mmm yummy)
