Took the bus to Stanley beach on sunday. It's on the South part of the island. Crowded, but pretty nice with warm water. Goddam its hot here. We met-up with Judith and Katherine (Germans from the previous night), \as well as Andrea, a girl who is peruvian Canadian? Traveled and studied all over the world, lives in Jersey and seem to carry a wealth of knowledge about her. (Incidentally told me that Hagen Daaz was started in our big apple and currently owned by General Mills, excellent marketing with the pompous name, cheers GM!(but they obviously didn't come up with the name)) yes, that's double parenthesis that you see.
We went out there to see the beach and have lunch with the girls. There are some old temples and little bargaining shops here also.At lunch the man who owns the restaurant tought us 3 lessons, counting on 1 hand in Chinese to 10, as well as writing and the difference between "do jie"(thank you for service) and "Mh doi"(thank you for providing me with some material benefit).
At lunch we decided to go to Macau for a bit of gambling and fun. This trip happened with Rebecca, Victoria, Mat and Mans as well as our big friendly Scotsman who studies at USC and travels to play the bag pipes, Gregor.
It was an hour ferry for $40 round trip. this place looks like Vegas, and apparently the Venetian here is the biggest casino in the world, gondola rides and all included.We went straight there and blew some money playing around in this theme park. Arriving back to HK at 10, heavily inebriated we went to our roof spot for a cicar and then died until 6pm. Good Fun.
Po Kai!
