Tuesday 19th September

Went shopping & laundry bag wash instead of doing anything useful. Bus (2A) to Wanchai Star ferry terminus to TST, lunch at Japanese place (near CafĂ© de Coral) @ star house), thence Ocean terminal. Toy’s R Us (returned megabloks bus, exchanged for stroller umbrella (HK59) & megablocks girls set – pink and orange). Bought clothes and toys for abi/Marcus/etc. ItsIMagical store attendant played with Abi (man was creepy, but lady nice and kept pushing lolly pop onto Abi). All stores Expensive. Chris desperate for coffee. Got 4 mini croissants from bakery and Abi demolished them in the stroller on the way to the MTR.

Dinner with Gu Ma, Gu Jerng, Benjamin, Alice & Dad. Strange pseudo-western food which is really Cantonese food served with cutlery at the Tai Ping Koon restaurant in Causeway Bay. Had pigeon and their “famous” Swiss chicken wings (just really sweet soy chicken wings). Pretty weird stuff. Abi mucked about a lot and entertained despite being overtired. She ate one chicken wing tip and chewed the ligaments until she didn’t know how to spit it out so that she could attack the main wing skin only. Dessert was an incredibly eggy soufflĂ© that Chris valiantly ate. Benjamin drove us home in his new Honda Odyssey. Gave Dad some Abi photos for her fans in Sydney.
