December 28th
Hong Kong

Trip on a tram (ding-ding) to the ferry terminal, taking the Star Ferry across to Tsim Sha Tsui (尖沙嘴). A visit to HK's Avenue of Stars to see various HK stars' (including my great aunt's) plaques on the ground. Then a tour of the old haunts in HK, apartments where we lived, my dad's high school, and my prekindergarten. A quick stint in Kowloon Walled City, and then off to Lantau Island, the newly-finished Ngong Ping 360 cable car to the Big Buddha at Po Lin Monastery. Dinner was a trip to Lei Yue Mun (鯉魚門) -- which meant a trip to its seafood markets, selecting live seafood from their tanks, and eating them fresh (cooked, of course) at a nearby restaurant of our choice. Meal included seasnails... Then a late trip to Temple Street market to see the busy streets filled with markets and shoppers.
