Day 7 - Hong Kong

- It's official: Sue is sick of Alan constantly checking his fantasy baseball scores.

- Woke up late yesterday ... which is perfectly fine by us in this wonderfully relaxed town. Had some tea and watched an EPL match. Good way to start a day.

- Took the Star Ferry at night across the bay to watch the light show -- at night, all the big skyscrapers flash their lights and shoot lasers over the pier. It all seems very giant-robots-attacking the way I'm describing it, but it was cool when we saw it.

- Went up Victoria Peak. View from the top: fog. View from halfway up the top: a gorgeous bird's eye view of the harbor.

- Went to Kowloon on the other side of the pier. Yikes! Bright garish neon lights, a thousand horrible stores, people shouting, dirty streets ... thank god we're staying in London ... er ... I mean, Hong Kong Island. Kowloon is like Jersey to HK Island's Manhattan.

- Tomorrow: Shopping. And Dim Sum. And Beer. Did I mention that we love Hong Kong?
