Corporatey Welcome

I got a big bag of goodies, a lot of company benefits, and corporate luncheons.  A corporatey welcome to a new era.

Heston Chocolate

I got a box of Heston chocolate, just to try.  I think it is quite overrated, but Sarah likes it.

Geriatric Computers

I decided to take an old computer home and fix it.  Most people asked why I didn't just get a new computer, but fixing old computer is half the fun.  I just want this computer to last for 2 years, and I have another old computer in the pipeline, I can't wait.

Templed Out

I never knew there were so many temples in Hong Kong.  I also learn the extend how Taoism and Buddhism mingled in Chinese culture.  Some of the rites started to "make sense".

Sarah is templed out, and so am I.

Long Drive Out

We arrived into London and got a hired car.  It was getting dark and we did not have the opportunity to check out every knob.

It ended up taking 2 hours to drive back, and it was stressful getting out of London.

If I had found the cruise control knob, it would have made it easier...  Let the journey continues.

Cheung Chau

Cheung Chau was having a Marine Police open day exhibition, it was a good opportunity to go to Cheung Chau.

We took a slow boat into Cheung Chau, it was quite pleasant.  We had a walk around the Cheung Chau Peak, where there were loads of strayed dogs, and they were not friendly.  As the trail did not cover part of a beach, there was a make-shift assault course, which was quite fun.

I was surprised how reasonably priced things are in Cheung Chau.  Besides the sun and the sea, Cheung Chau is not a bad place to live.

We went down to the beach, but it has less sea life then I anticipated, and the beach (LCSD-managed) was cleaner than I anticipated.

After a long day, we took a fast boat back.  Fast boat is always bumpier than slow boat...

Big Buddha

When the forecast turned bad, we cancelled the overnight plan to Mui Wo.  We changed the plan to see the zoological park again, but my mother offered to take us to the Buddha.

We took the gondola to the Buddha.  We hiked up and saw the relic.  We had some vegetarian good and went off to Tai O.  My friends were right, we could do all that in 1 day.

When we were in Tai O, there were fresh seafood, and the squid was even livelier than the one we had on Saturday.  Interesting trip, but it is once for 10 years trip.
