I am getting very confident riding the Metro Train Rail (MTR) System. It is very clean, no police, beggars, street performers, smoking, eating or drinking. They are not faster than US trains. Today we boarded at peak rush hour and it is quite busy. Two trains Susan and I were packed like sardines. When walking it is quite hard to navigate in the crowds. Shanghai is suppose to be worse in regards to crowds. To get to HKDL I board 3 trains and change stations once (5min walk)
Last night dinner was at a Thai restaurant with some friends of Susan. Once again I found myself in a very large shopping center. This one was for the high-high end stores, Chanel, Monte Blanc... The back end of mall had an eclectic mix of stores. One friends brought her boyfriend who was from Australia. He was quite interesting to talk to. He is on a horse racing team stationed in HK but they race all across Asia.
Food was quite good and not overly spicy for being a non-US Thai restaurant, with that said I did not sleep well. I ate something call Mawl which is a fish organ, if you look it up do not tell me what it is.
