Central & Tsim Shai Po

Monday was my introductory day to Hong Kong. Tom and I went to the nearest shopping center and ate breakfast at Starbucks, my first in over 3 months. I was so happy that I took a picture of it. We then caught the KCR rail downtown and switched to MTR. We were going to meet Lisa B. and Maya, her latest assistant to have lunch and look at her work. Little did I know we were actually going downtown to the skyline area. We were in it so much that I couldn't tell. The hustle and bustle was almost overwhelming though, and the quality and variety of stuff for sale and how much people already had. Everyone so extremely well dressed with cell phones and briefcases or backpacks full of more stuff. And everything so clean. No trash anywhere, in fact, I'm sure the subway we rode was cleaner than some of the rooms I paid for in India. We ate dim sum for lunch at a famous local place with Maya from Australia, who somehow had not had dim sum here yet despite living in Hong Kong since June. Afterwards we went to the computer area and on a caprice bought a new 160gb hard drive and firewire case for US$100. Which is a really good deal, but still expensive.
