Funny old day!
As we worked so late yesterday, we only had one appointment today to discover the history of Hong Kong. It seems that pre-1861 there is little to see of HK but after 1851/1853 – Treaty of Nanjing … in the Summer of 1997, HK was handed back to the Chinese and 50 years of “grace” started …
Anyway, we went down the Hollywood Road to oHon
Honeychurch Antiques and the marvellous Lucille & Glenn Vessa. They have been here for over 30 years … and also have an outlet in Seattle. Their stories on HK life over the years are fascinating … can’t wait to see it on the TV with pictures of what they spoke about.
Have checked into The Four Seasons – and have stunning views of Victoria Harbour. It’s going to be a tough week.
Checking out of The Mandy made me rather sad – it was leaving home again …
Walking round Central did make me smile though – the trams and the Philippino workers huddled around … like something out of Hitchcock’s The Birds … teehee
The Birds
Shopping … BAD ….!
Song of the Day: Fly - Blue
Weather: LOVELY!
Weight: Pawing rather than fighting weight!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!
