It started with the first glimpse of Hong Kong from the sea. Huge skyscrapers lining the horizon. We were berthed at the Ocean Terminal in Kowloon with a view of the whole of Hong Kong laid out in front of us with a nighty laser light show (sorry bout the photography).
The next day we went shopping and found a friendly tailor.
He later steered us to a dim sum (Chinese dumplings) place for lunch which was pretty spectacular huge with crystal chandeliers and no other occidentals. Clyde is shown digging in to the first of many samples and later checking out the kitchen. Sadly were were down with colds for two days – we barely had the energy to pick up Mary's purchases (pretty spectacular dresses). On the last day there was a New Year's celebration in the Aberdeen Yacht Club (very nice indeed) with Chinese opera, dragon dances, lion dances, and peacock dances (unfortunately we left in a hurry to get there without Clyde and without a camera --sigh)
