City Tour part deux

This morning we got up early and caught up on our 24 Season 6. Now that we've seen episode 12, Jack Bauer and the rest of CTU can be off our minds, atleast until we're back home again!

This afternoon, we helped Auntie Susan and Uncle Harvey prepare for their journey home . A 'clean sweep' of the entire room was necessary as Uncle Harvey's head seemed to be elsewhere while he was packing (??fogotten dress pants and a drawer full of Auntie Susan's Beijing 'goods'. Woe, the entire family was on fire and there weren't any excuses to be heard!?!

Well, we've spent the past 4 weeks with the 2 of them, experiencing and learning so much about each other and the family as a whole. They've certainly made our trip very fun and entertaining and their 'youthfullness' has always rubbed onto us in the best of ways! We thank them so much for committing to this trip many months ago, and making it a blast for us all!

Our long time friend from the Killarney days Ron Lo, took us around for more street wandering, eating and shopping highlighted by an awesome dinner at this local 'Hong Kong style' dump in the North Point district. You'd think you were eating in the middle of some fish market with people constanting protesting (just ordinarily talking) crammed like sardines and tile floors more slippery than House of Gourmet on Dundas. BYO sake was perfect as we all pigged out on delicious seafood!

We had to make a visit to Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong's prime time clubbing and bar district full of the many ex-pats. In celebration of St. Patricks Day, hundreds gathered the streets wearing festive costumes while drinking the nite away. We landed at 'The Keg', where Ron introduced us to his beer drinking softball team. After 2 1/2 weeks of enormous chinese crowds, it was nice to be imersed again around people who 1) dont have black hair and wear glasses, and 2) don't play the Fee-Fye-Foe phone number game.
