Day Eight -- Hong Kong

- Eating, drinking, shopping, soccer, and dumplings. That comprised the entirety of our final full day in Hong Kong. Alan found yet another fabulous T-shirt. Sue made do with a new belt.

- We finally found a dim sum place after days of searching. We're pretty sure a lot of the
Chinese places around here served dim sum, but we couldn't tell by the menus. And we were scared. Because that's how we roll. Anyway, the English-menu dim sum place was well worth the wait. Hand-made dumplings make me happy.

- Went back to Kowloon. Much less scary during the day, but it's still no Hong Kong Island. Touts would ask us "wanna buy a suit?" in pretty much the same tone and manner as someone asking us to buy crack. I wonder how many people they actually get to buy suits this way.

- Went to the HK Zoological Gardens, which provided our first jaguar sighting of the trip. He (or she) was a cool cat, splashing about in the pool and viciously attacking the pink plastic balls in the water. Thumbs up to the jaguar.

- It was so hot today, Alan had to wear his trademark sweat bandanna. Let us pray it never gets that hot again.

Another wonderfully relaxing day in Hong Kong,
