Chopsticks
We’ve seen one big Buddha (Dulcie is the one in the hat)….
And over twelve thousand little Buddhas, each one unique (we’ll take their word for that)…
So now it’s time to leave Hong Kong and head back to Canada. Dulcie may be a little slimmer now having been on the “chopstick diet” for some time. It’s not just that food is difficult to eat with chopsticks (especially birthday cake) but the traditional Chinese food is not always very appetizing (the skewered ox tongue was only slightly more tempting than the sweet and sour tripe).
We have, however, been suitably impressed with the public transport here. With one wave of a magic pre-paid card we’ve been able to ride the tram, the bus, the funicular railway (my favourite!), the ferry, the train and buy chocolate from the local shop (Dulcie’s favourite).
Tomorrow we’ll fly over the international date line again so we’ll land before we set off (it’s a good job we didn’t fly on Dulcie’s birthday or I’d have to buy her two presents and she’d be an extra year older).

I know what you mean about’real’Chinese food. We had chicken and chocolate for one meal. Geoff quite liked it!
So it’s goodbye to all your travels! At least I will be able to send you a Christmas card!
