OF JOY.ANGER.SADNESS.THANKGIVINGS 喜怒哀感恩集

Headache and Fever was left behind with Stress,phew! While departing from my homeland, i was greeted by foreign workers from the bus to the fast food outlet to the security check at departure gate, so much so i begin to think i'm the foreigner returning home instead of one leaving my homeland. The feeling got even more intense when i arrive in HK and meet more people who are of my race and speak similar language than i have encountered back home..LOve HK. The view from the aircraft when it was making the final descent was beautiful as it was a beautiful day--deep blue sea dotted with pieces of green islands that look like jade and nearer the airport,the waters turned emerald.A bird's eye view of HK on a clear blue day like this is really scenic. Made a mistake of taking the airport express to Yesinn, train at Hong Kong stn was supercrowded, should have paid HKD60 less to take the airport bus.Made a call from the hostel room to arrange for Dolphin Watch tmr morning, also called alice to arrange to meet tmr for dinner. Was going to make my way out to Wanchai when i discovered i could not open the metal gate of my room, called the reception which was a few blocks away and their instructions over the phone didn't help so i had to wait for help.The helper came with an ugly look and complained that she had already shown me how to open the gate when i checked in earlier and i realised she was right! i must be getting old n forgetful.Anyway, as a result of the delay. i bumped into alice at the mtr as she had just returned from an event,what a delightful surprise! We went on to wanchai to have v delicious handmade bamboo beaten wanton noodles （竹笙面）with tasty wantons and prawn roe in the soup base at the famous 永华面家.we also had the 陈皮红豆沙.Then we went to the HK convention center,the stingray lookalike building where there was a computer fair but i decided not to go into the fair after discovering there's a charge.We however had v good views of the harbour and the ICC building from the foyer. Next she brought me to Toy street,the Blue House and finally the wanchai computer center to wander on my own as she had to attend another event. The streets of HK r interestingblends of tradional old with modern fashionable and are full of flavours. As the midautumn festival is v much celebrated here, lanterns and mooncakes are already hot sale items. Found angry bird lanterns...:)
