Yen cooked dinner for us, which was by far the nicest Chinese meal I’ve had since I got here, except for the part where I was forced to drink Pearl River beer. ‘Forced’, since the other option was coconut milk stuff.

... souvenirs. Today they were having a 50% off sale but I didn't find anything compelling to buy.

By two in the afternoon, we headed a couple blocks away to the Peninsula Hotel for high tea. The Peninsula was built in the colonial era but was still considered to be the elegant and exclusive place to stay. It reminded me of the Plaza in New York, or the Fairmont at Lake Louise in Canada.
