The big central mall Christmas centerpiece.Christmas came and went and you would not have known it was Christmas Day - nothing closed. I mean nothing. The malls were open all the shops were open. There were Christmas Day sales. No one takes a day off. Oh well.
Here are some Holiday shots around Hong Kong
My local mall put up this display - a Robotic Santa and his robot snowman elves - I dunno - it is very work oriented but I suppose he would need flying cars and a massive workforce - I hope they have a good union - doubtful.
Not to be left out.
I went up to Victoria Peak. Had a nice chat with some American teachers. One is a High School Principal and his wife a University professor. Both can make more and have less stress teaching in Hong Kong - so they are considering the move. Met a nice couple from Ireland up here as well. Took the double decker up the mountain and the very steep tram ride down.
A popular restaurant at the Peak is the Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant. Prices seemed quite reasonable and they have their own gift shop next door where you can buy Gump hats and shirts or glasses. Hong Kong is liiiiiiike a booox of chooocolates when you walk around you nevah knooow what youer gonna get.
Sounds like the same trip we made up there....I remember that cable car!
ReplyDeleteToo bad the Americans pay so little to their teachers....no wonder their education system leaves a lot to be desired.
Oh, and happy birthday!!
