Good morning, dear readers.
I got up sooooper early this morning, about 5 am. I guess I am still not quite adjusted to the time diff yet. And you know, for a city that has a constant buzz like Hong Kong, you'd think there would be a coffee shop open at 5am. But where is it?
The streets are eerily quiet here at 5am (ok, probably in most cities). All I saw when I was walking the streets in search of that elusive coffee was the newspaper vendors. There were dozens of them on every street, all stuffing flyers into newspapers, and stacking them in piles.
Yesterday, I met up with my friend Woody. Woody and I spent the afternoon and evening doing what people do in HKG - eat and drink. Eating in small cafes in Hong Kong is always an interesting experience. You are usually seated with other people in the same booth, and you try to ignore them, even though they are sitting directly across from you a few feet away. And good luck getting your food to arrive at the same time - even if you order the same thing.
Dinner out in a nice restaurant is different, of course. Hong Kong has no shortage of great restaurants. The inside ambiance of most of the nice restaurants make you forget the chaos that is outside.
