I ate breakfast this morning in the hotel restaurant. They had a wide selection of Chinese-type foods including some type of grilled salmon but luckily they also had the usual items….I had waffles, French toast, bacon, fresh fruit, and a chocolate muffin. We worked out of our Buying Office in Hong Kong this afternoon. Lunch was at a Thai restaurant within walking distance from the office. We ordered numerous different dishes and I was able to try a little of everything…lamb chops, beef curry, fried noodles, chicken lettuce wraps. The best was when I asked our host about one of the dishes and she said “It’s some type of fungus”. Now that sounds appetizing! I did try one bit but it was not too tasty. We played it safe for dinner tonight since we were on our own again…pizza.
A few observations so far as we have been around the city a little bit. High-rise apartment complexes are everywhere and clothes are usually hanging out to dry from nearly every window. They use bamboo sticks for scaffolding…even for the tallest buildings.

That looks to be a couple thousand miles away!!
Check out your breakfast bar and see if they have lychee fruit, ugly fruit, passion fruit, star fruit or pumeleos. They are actually quite tasty. Pass, on the soup that the Chinese eat for their breakfast
