Not a lot extra going on today. Normal MTR ride and walk into work. Today we ate at the french cafe on the ground floor of the Mass Mutual Tower (the building the main office is in). While we were eating it started raining, this is the first time that it has actually rained (that we know of) while we have been here. There have been a few times that we went outside and it seemed like it had rained, but we haven't actually seen it raining. Ciara and I had lunch separately from the rest of the group because we were meeting with our project sponsor at the beginning of lunch time. We found a noodle place down the street for lunch. It was really good, I had spicy noodles with pork belly.
After we finished work we took the MTR back to Causeway Bay. Ciara and I walked over to the supermarket to get some snacks, and everyone else headed back to the apartments. On the way to the supermarket we passed by a large demonstration that was on one of the bigger streets, in front of shops and an MTR exit. We worked our way past the demonstration to the supermarket and bought some snacks. We then walked back to our apartments, passing the demonstration again.
It started raining soon before we were going to head out to get some food for dinner. This time it included thunder and lightning. Not a lot to see from our apartments, but occasionally a flash of lightning could be seen. It kept raining for a while, and didn't really stop so we decided to just go to the mall across the street and find some food instead of walking around the city. There was a shop inside the mall that had really cute animal and character truffles. Didn't buy any (didn't really want any, and they were also pretty expensive), but they were really cute so we took a couple pictures. After we ate we headed back to our apartments. This last week has been long, so it's nice to have a more relaxing day and an earlier night.

good pictures. Are the streets always that busy with people? I hope your lunch tasted better than it looked..... Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteIt was really good. No, they aren't normally that crowded. It was a HUGE demonstration
DeleteSounds like you're having a great time! Not sure how much longer you'll in town. I'd suggest you get someone to take you to a dim sum lunch before you leave town. You might also consider a visit to the "big buddha". Aerial tramway to the site and a little bit of a climb.
ReplyDeleteHi Glenn! Yes, we are having a lot of fun. We were taken out for a Dim Sum lunch our first day here. It was a pretty fancy restaurant and was really good. We also had Dim Sum for lunch on Lamma Island. We are planning on visiting the Big Buddha. MTR and then the cable car and aerial tram, and then possibly take the bus down to a beach. Still want to go see Ocean Park too
