As of the beginning of this month, government workers will only have to work 5 days a week, hardly a shocker to anyone in North America, but is a big deal in Hong Kong.
Did another search on the Internet and had dinner at Chueng Kee in Wan Chai, a small Peking/Szechuan restaurant on Lockhart Road near Luard Road. The waiter was kind enough to help me pick out some dishes: a kind of chicken noodle soup, very plain thin noodles with bits of diced chicken and bok choy; dry fried green beans (stringy) with ground pork, and an intense mixture of minced chilis, garlic, ginger, dried shrimp, and celery; very tender, fatty, pork ribs in a sweet sauce with a hint of sesame oil.
Afterwards, I walked along Hennessy Road looking for Tai Leung Pak Kee for desserts but, not knowing the address, didn't find it. I ended up walking an entire subway stop, to Causeway Bay where I bought some buns from a branch of Donq in the basement of Sogo.Why do some websites in foreign languages sprinkle a few words of English here and there? Why even bother, if the rest of the site isn't in English? Maybe it's part of the whole business of SEO.
Tickets and hotels are now confirmed for Japan!
