A day with no agenda...


Today (Easter) Jason and I awoke to an amazing crystal clear skyline view of the Hong Kong harbor. After Jason finished some computer work activites and I packed my suitcase, we set off mid morning for a stroll on the harbor promenade. What I thought might be a quiet day on the street of Hong Kong, since it was a sunday holiday, was not true. Hong Kongers like usual were ready to shop and outside enjoying the life. Jason and I took the ferry one last time across the harbor and with our Octopus card and rode the double decker tram, an experience all tourists in Hong Kong must have. We toured some market stalls where I purchased a Louis Vuitton coin purse for a $1 (US). Riding the bus back we passed the impressive seven story Hong Kong Central Library, which appeared open on Sundays. We stumbled upon a street fair and from what we could decipher a religious graduation ceremony in the Statue Square and returned to the hotel via the metro to enjoy our usual dim sum dumplings and Tsing Tsao beer. At 8 PM, we hope to venture out to see the harbor laser light show.
