Cities

Hong Kong is not the largest city I have been in, but it is one of the most interesting. Spectacular buildings everywhere. They say that New York City has over 800 buildings taller than 100 metres while Hong Kong has 2000 or more. That says something about the skyline in this city.

Yesterday we wandered and found the Mid Level escalators and an area called Soho. Hong 

Kong is not at all flat and these escalators take people from the lowest point all the way to the top. You can get off at various points to shop, eat or just plain people watch. Quite often in our case, people watching involves a refreshing beer. Today was no different...we may make a beer drinker out of Alice yet!

The escalators are under the shelter, perfect because today it rained for much of the day. Didn't stop the happy wanderers.

We splurged and are staying in the club level rooms in this hotel....free breakfasts and afternoon drinks and appetizers.

The appetizers and wine was our first course, Pringles our second and gummies our third. The second and third courses supplied by 7-11 down the street. We found out this morning that Alice and Jim ate at the same elegant dining establishment that we did. Some days you just can't muster up the energy to search for a restaurant. Besides, who knew that Jim loves Pringles?

Tonight we promise to eat a perfect last meal in Hong Kong....we all leave tomorrow. Us for Vietnam and Alice and Jim for Canada. They have a great flight, Hong Kong to Vancouver while we fly the milk run....HCMC to Bangkok on to Tokyo, Calgary and finally home to Saskatoon.
