Sat, 4/28.  Hong Kong.  Pretty new buildings, same old town.  Narrow streets, many bars.  The day began with a bus tour to Daoist Temple, looooong string of open-air escalators that cut through local streets of shops/markets, Financial District, Aberdeen (fishing waterfront).  In the afternoon I walked.  Had a half-liter of beer with the spiciest penne pasta I’ve ever had and visited the Sun Yat-Sen Museum (no pics allowed).  In the evening we did a fairly useless tour beginning with a low priced dinner, followed by a ferry ride and drive up Victoria’s Peak, finishing with a ride on a double decker tram through the one-block red light district.  My opinion; the Peak is much better during the day.

Hong Kong is a fascinating mix of Asia and England, but you’ve really got to be here.  Words don’t suit.
