Hunker Down

We got whipped around a bit today due to Hurricane Wilma.
Fortunately, we never lost power and we seemed to have
come through it just fine.
This afternoon we transitioned from
the hurricane to chilly weather...nutty!

It's not a storm until there's a graphic!

Last Days in Hong Kong

Here are few things we did on my last couple days
before leaving Hong Kong.

I started the day by running an errand to TST (Marianne's).
Countdown clock down to zero in Hong Kong MTR Station.

Banner at the HKDL cast member entrance.
It read: The MAGIC has begun!

One last picture of the hanging meat at the cafeteria.
Mmmmm!

We finished out the evening by going to Tai Pan.
Tai Pan is a massage facility open until 2AM.
We made a very late appointment!

Every treatment starts with a foot bath.

It's 2:11AM...are we relaxed or passed out?!

September 14th
Today I packed up the apartment, went the Post Office
and ran some errands with Sherry.

Wrapped up our errands at the Bulldog Pub in LKF

MTR Signs

Loved the way the
MTR stations were labelled.
