Friday night the last night

So we finished working at 3:30 we were received at the Admiralty train station at 4:45. We were meeting a hospitality consultant at 6PM so Susan and I went separate ways until we would meet at 5:30 for our meeting. I went into the best buy of Hong Kong and walked out with an Olympus.XZ-1 camera. I shopped every kind of store and settled on Fortress. I arrived for our meeting just in time.

Susan went to eat with her husband leaving me on an adventure. 1st stop was a book store off queensway hwy. After visiting 5 book stores in HK I finally have a traditional Chinese HP#1.

2nd stop was at a computer mall.  There are two computer marts in HK, I went to Wan Chai. Of course I could take the MTR train which I am an old hat with but no I decided on the traditional trolley car the locals ride. Well it was so packed by the time I realized I needed off it went by two more stops so I ended up in a residential district right out of a James Bond movie. I found the mart with 20 min to closing yet walked out empty handed. Other than Flash Memory everything else was on par with online pricing.

3rd stop was a local entertainment district.  As I tried to find my way back to the SOHO district I turned and walked down Lockhart Rd and found the night life of HK. Next to "model review" bars was a British pub which looked interesting. I am on my second black and tan, spring rolls to die for and was just talked into bangers and mash. Go to oldchinahand.com.hk and read the history. There is a two piece band playing 80's tunes with an eclectic crowd. I have been paired with a new waitress, how do I know? She did not know what a black and tan was and this is a British pub. Westerners came in and it ended up a big party!

My flight to Shanghai is at 8:05 am. That means a 5:30 train ride and fingers crossed that we take off. A super typhoon is bearing down on Shanghai so the week is expected to be raining each day. Update in the AM
