Organised Chaos

Fast, dynamic, massive, but unbelievably in sync. Everyone seems to have a purpose, no matter that be dull, boring, difficult, or complex, the job get done and done well. Whether in a museum, park, restaurant or eating some slush called black sesame everyone is eager to help a giant white boy and his tall, by local standards, wife, with buffuddled looks on their chevy chase hovering over a map.

It may just be lust, but I have fallen for HK!!

The food is sublime, eating dim sum last night, similiar to yum cha, the restaurant supervisor proudly shows his aussie 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, and $2 slamming it down on the table. After a brief chat, I gave him (Beth's) 5c and $5. All of a sudden, we are Danny Mung's new best friends :) Free deserts, drinks, peanuts (not for Beth), choclates, and half priced box set of moon cakes. btw They have a aquarium full of the biggest baby killing (alaskan) crabs I've seen.

Especially proud and shocked, yesterday, after long walk around hong kong island, meandering around the edges of town found this ram shakle of an eatery on a dodgy side street. No guessing the missus wasn't keen until bam, of the five words the owner knew, one was dumplings. Next thing you know, Beth and I are sitting on a stool in a tin shed and she is all in for desert too, a bowl of blackish sludge; Consumed and enjoyed. 20 of your best backpacker points to Beth please.

Runs on the board:
Kowloon bay light show - I was a touch skeptical rocking up to the nightly version of safm's skyshow, but I kid you not, literally 80+ skyscrapers synchronised with music, lasers and lights across the harbour, awesome.

Habana express (photo's to come in facebook)
Me - "Are these all cubans?"
Staff - "Yes sir, they are"
Me - "Oh yeah....."

Walking and riding through Hong Kong

Cathay Pacific
- Reasonable food and your personally video / gaming system. All of sudden it's 1988 as Hamish is playing arconoid for about an hour.

Lost wickets:
Picked out by the local monks for a donation.

Siting in an english bar listening to your best 80's rock. Cat's in the craddle and a Silverspoon, little boy blue and a man on the moon (I know it's a cover song)!

Lost after a visit to the botanic gardens.
