We arrived in Hong Kong around three in the afternoon.
Nick wasn't there.
If you know him, i'm sure you understand how hilarious it is that he was late for picking us up.
But he did eventually come, and after about a million hugs and a couple of Lucky Strikes (Nick's, not ours) we got on the bus to the city.
On the top floor of the double decker bus from the airport
Impressive, right? I was impressed!
At our hotel, we sat in the fancy room, had some complimentary wine and crackers and got a quick "what's what" briefing
We took a walk around Mong Kok
Nick's street
At Nick's new place, which he hasn't moved in to yet, we found out where the citizens of Hong Kong puts their mail boxes!
The table at secret café
We met up with Nic who knew a delicious vegetarian restaurant just down the street from our hotel
And across from the restaurant; a Taiwanese (i think?) dessert place whose specialty was shaved ice cream with magic beans... and mango
Sharing is caring!
I've had a rough couple of days, as have my whole family.
Last night was particularly tough. And today had its moments too.
My grandfather is still with us, we went to see him again today, but no one really knows what's gonna happen.
It's worse than i thought, that's for sure.
But whatever will happen, his life has been so long and good already, and that's something to be thankful for.
Another thing to be thankful for is friends who'll allow you to bolt in the middle of Game of Thrones to attend to family stuff, and who don't panic when you return with red, puffy eyes and a runny nose.
No spoilers, by the way, we still haven't finished the last episode!Labels: Awesomeness, Best buddies, Decor, Family, Food, iPhone, Photography, Wellbeing
