This weekend was crazy busy at first then extremely relaxing. Overall so quite good! Last Thursday evening we had a nice dinner of dumplings, ribs and veggies at Shanghai Lane with Jean Pierre before he left for Malaysia, and then attended a bar fundraiser at Joyce is not Here pub; 50% of proceeds went to the Earthquake via Red Cross.
Then on Friday evening after a long day of customer meetings and conference calls, we went to Prive - a club that was packed 10x over! Its the Hong Kong Rugby 7's where hundreds of thousands of british colonies expats are drinking like mad and dressed up like characters (I saw Angry Birds and SpongeBob - its practically hallowe'en... heard that may be 10% of people watch the sport match!)
Luckily my friends got us past the line to a private table. 4am rolled around, we ate McDonalds and surprise surprise, I couldn't wake up for my 8am dragon boat practice. Rough week needed a relaxing end on Fri/Sat!
The rest of Saturday was spent in Cheung Chau island, a seafood island with a pretty beach and nice hiking trails. Its known for their bun festival in April. We had a 4 course dinner for $188 HK (great deal, approx $25 USD) of fresh oysters, crab, fish and veggies then headed back to Hong Kong by ferry boat. Worked out at the gym and watched two pretty good movies downloaded at home. Nice and relaxing.
As with our typical Sundays, we usually brunch with friends. Of course after the previous evening of gym workouts, we stuff our faces - this time at Wagyu Lounge, where my big breakfast of sausages/bacon/eggs is in a bun sat in my stomach ALL DAY!
Now... back at work after a busy morning of conference calls with customers, and lunch at Simply Life IFC with Domina. Brown rice and fish and pumpkin soup. Not bad, but not great.
This week...off to Beijing and Taipei. Back on Friday. See you soon!
