An evening with the Mayor
This evening the ex Mayor of Poole (aka Lou) stopped by Hong Kong with his family. My dad used to work with him so he gave me a call and we arranged to meet. I picked them up from the Star Ferry in Wan Chai and we walked to the tram lines. They had yet to go on a tram so I took them to Causeway Bay. Once there we went to the most local Thai place for food that I know. It was quite amusing to see some of the familys reaction and it was quickly decided that I should order for everyone.
At first I thought I was in deep trouble as the reaction to the establishment, (reflected in my guests faces) was quite rightly dubious. However once the food arrived it became clear that they were on safe ground as it was really tasty and soon everyone seemed happy knowing they were not consuming dog. It is also worth mentioning that none of them had used chopsticks before and they were all very fast learners! After this very nice meal (which for 6 of us came to 13 quid) we headed back to Wan Chai for another taste of Hong Kong on a vastly different scale.
I took them up to the 66th floor of the only revolving restaurant in Hong Kong for drinks (click here for their web site) It shows off stunning views across the whole of the city and Kowloon and is rather swish. We sat back and chatted and joked and had a really great time. After this I took the whole gang back to their hotel on the Kowloon side via MTR. It is now 12.45pm and I am rather tired and going to bed, it was a great evening though. Below is a picture of us all revolving around Hong Kong.
