After a chaotic search for the coach at the Macau Terminal, we crossed the bridge into Hong Kong on a gloomy drizzling morning. The coach ride was comfortable and pleasant but the usual ferry ride would have been a better experience.

While Macau was an awkward combination of squalid shophouses and grandiloquent casinos, Hong Kong was a claustrophobic experience. The people were rushing in and out at their business in a loud and aggressive manner, which took a little getting used to.
Although much had been said about the delectable wonton soup, I had not the good fortune of finding any on this trip. I wondered if unbeknownst to me, someone had had the
bad idea of tapping my back (click for detail) to render me this ill luck.

Lunch at Stanley Promenade
A bazaar nearby offered good deals for local products and souvenirs. |

Our dinner was a yelling extraordinaire. A Chinese family at the next table made our day. The 6 year-old boy was making a complete nuisance of himself. His mother yelled at him and his father yelled at his mother. The grandmother yelled at everyone and the two young teenagers yelled at each other.
All that yelling scare the aroma out of our roast goose. (which was a polite way of telling you how great our goose was not.)

DIM SUM
... in Hong Kong was at the first floor of a restaurant located a few blocks from where we home-stayed. Hong Kong's dim sum must be magnificent and worthy of a few Michelin stars. I can only blame my mediocrity for the conflicting judgement.

THE WATERFRONT
... was another tourist attraction with look alike palm prints of the stars arrayed along the balustrade.
