Went out last night for an amazing meal, ordered way too much thinking it would be quite small potions... oops... there must have been enough for a family of 5!! I am currently sat in a coffee bar on the peak of hong kong island, the veiw is fantastic... although it must be said that i miss not being in work... heh heh!!! :)

We came over to hong kong island on the star ferry, it was a bit choppy.

We are going to come back over to the peak tomorrow night to take some pics of the city lit up!

We took a taxi to Sik Sik Yuen - Wong Tai Sin Temple which is situated right in the middle of a high rise housing estate that makes Hartcliffe look like a country village... The temple practises the three main religions of china, budism, taoism and confucianism. Was very busy, lots of people praying and lighting joss sticks. There was a moment there that tickled me, when Paul tried to ask directions from one of the monks (im sure they take a vow of silence), but Paul was quite persistant and in the end the monk just pointed us away.

We then took a train, (using the easiest train system ive ever used) to Kwun Tong district to the Lie Yun Mun Seafood Bazaar, which is a fishing village that specialises in fresh seafood.

The idea is that you walk around, decide which of the little (sometimes big) fish, lobster, eel you wish to eat (by the way, they are still swimming around in tanks). You buy the fish then take it to which ever restaurant you wish to eat in and then they prepare it for you.

Well, we didnt quite get the grasp of this concept until after we had ordered sweet and sour pork, beef malaysian noodles, fried rice and fried vegetables... yes, we'd done it again... the meal was HUGE!! d'oh!

We then took the Ya Tong ferry to Quarry Bay (Hong Kong island) walked along north point then took a cab to Lan Kwai Fong for a nice couple of pints of ice cold beer! (even in the evening it is 28degrees). Came back to kowloon on the Star ferry then back to the hotel for a couple more aperitifs...
