Finally home

Our last few days in Hong Kong were packed with activities. On Friday Julia and I went to Aberdeen to have dim sum at the Jumbo Floating Restaurant. It was awesome food. We ordered about eight dishes and ate everything, much to the surprise of our waiter.


Afterwards we went to Ocean Park, a nearby theme park built onto the site of a mountain. It had really great aquariums including a shark tank, a tropical reef and a jelly fish exhibit.

The park had some really great views of the city, but unfortunately the pollution was pretty bad so we couldn't see much. We thought we might get some good views at night, so we decided to go to Victoria Peak via the tram. Luckily we arrived just in time to see the 8pm light show.


On Saturday Les took us to Sai Kung, their old neighbourhood. There was a seawall that was filled with seafood restaurants displaying many different types of fish and shellfish. It seemed that anything alive in the sea was available to be eaten.Now, after a ten and a half hour flight, we are back home. I felt sad in a way because my vacation is over, but glad to be home. After seeing so many places, I realize how lucky I am that I live in Vancouver.
