One of the big events in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year is the fireworks display at the harbour. My friend decided to do it up in style - we were in Hong Kong afterall...might as well splurge just once. We made dinner reservations at Sevva, a swank restaurant at the top of the Prince's building in Hong Kong. It wasn't a cheap night, but we had a front row view for the fireworks. As as I sat on the terrace, sipping my champagne cocktail, and munching on a caviar hors d'oeuvres, I though to myself, "WOW! I am in Hong Kong!". I think it was the first time that it actually hit me. I am in Hong Kong. Not for vacation, but working in Hong Kong. The meal was fantastic and the drinks kept flowing the whole night long. The pictures don't do the fireworks justice--they were fantastic.
It was a wonderful extra long weekend. Tomorrow--I'll get back to what Hong Kongers do best...work.
Best post yet - I'm sure the friend who reminded you only meant well. Pork? Really? Wow, I would have picked you to take down a live squid or eel :)
