My arrival to Hong Kong was not at a convenient time for Greg and Jeanette. As I mentioned earlier, they are currently between houses now. Both have been busy balancing work with the stress of decorating and moving into their new place. I really doesn't bother me that they don't have that much time to show me around. At this point, I'm just happy to see them. I was scared for a moment that they would need my help to assemble all of the storage units from Ikea, but they paid for the assembly for the furniture too. I've attached some pictures of their new place in the works (which is high up there and has a nice view). I'll be staying here for the rest of the week.
Greg and I were able to take the ferry to Macau this past weekend for some gambling. As soon as we arrived, Greg was turned away at the Wynn Casino because he was wearing flip flops. What a way to take the air out of the tires! We quickly hailed a cab which drove us to the nearest mall. Greg bought himself some stylish Pumas and we were back in business. After losing about 2000 HKD at craps, both Greg and I clawed our way back into the positive numbers at the black jack table. Greg even won enough to pay for his shoes as well! We rolled back to HK at 4 AM totally exhausted. It is great that the JW has excellent beds.
I have been able to do some sightseeing, but most of the things I have already seen from the last trip. One new place that I visited was the goldfish market. I liked watching the store owners blast compressed oxygen into the water filled plastic bags and display pre-packaged goldfish. They also had other creatures ranging from snails to turtles to crayfish. I have the next few weeks finally planned out, so looking forward to push off into Thailand.
