Just Hugh and me, and the pretty night lights of Hong Kong.

Tomorrow: Taiwan. Three countries/special administrative regions down–4 more and 4 more months to go.

(P.S. I turned 27, for the curious.)

Hopefully the rain stops so we can see more stuff, but so far we’ve wandered nightmarkets, antique and curio shops, rode the largest escalator in Asia (or whatever it is)…

We haven’t had the internet for awhile so I’ve had to write back-dated entries so if you are reading this off LJ, you might wanna go directly to this site.

Finally, some photos…

Yum cha

Hugh glances over our yum cha lunch

Hugh takes in the sights (and smells)

The smell of fish drying on the sidewalk hit us before we saw it...

Almond cakes

Famous Macanese almond cakes. Taste great. Feel like eating talcum powder.

Racially insensitive toothpaste!

Ah yes, racially insensitive toothpaste. This used to say "Darkie" above the minstrel face (still does in Chinese)
