Still on the plane to HK. Breakfast is the much-anticipated chicken-mushroom-ginger congee. Terrific. Also a muffin and fresh fruit. I ask Tevin if it was everything he dreamed of and more. No response. HK to Phnom Penh: an insane connection, very rushed, almost miss it. But now we're on the plane. "Scrambled eggs or Chinese dim sum?" Dim sum, ...
Premiere etape de notre sejour, a Lucie et a moi au coeur de l'Asie du Sud-Est... Soit, HK n'est pas en Asie du Sud Est mais vu que l'on avait la possibilite d'y faire escale...

It's the best soup dumpling I've ever had and I've had quite a few...lol. We had lunch with one of my mom and aunt's close friends. I hadn't seen her in a very long time. We actually bumped into her just out...
Doing another update from the phone, this time while riding the train between Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Monday was the first full day for us in Hong Kong itself and it began with a late start. Breakfast was at Pacific Coffee and again included some free internet time for us to take advantage of. It was decided that the primary focus of the day wa...
The 3.5 days we spend in Hong Kong were devoted to shopping. We were determined to do all our Christmas shopping here and to also get some souvenirs for ourselves. Our favorite market was the Ladies Market. We also liked the shops on Nathan Road. We tried the famous Night Market that we had heard so much about but were disappointed by the qualit...
The train from Wuhan was superb; LCD TV (Chinese programmes obviously), A/C, duvet, and even food pre-packaged on trays (unlike previous trains where they have vats of food that gets pushed up and down the train all day, I didn't dare try it). Although it was the best train so far, the passengers don't change, and yet again I was stuck with a ch...
