First Full Day in Hong Kong!

It's 5:29 PM here in Hong Kong. Today was our "easy" day, where our host John took us all over Hong Kong. I had watery noodles for breakfast and it was really good! After that we went to a meat market where we saw hanging pig parts and beating fish hearts. Yum! ... NOT!
Then we went up a tram to the Peak and saw Hong Kong from above. We had some starbucks coffee while up there too, while we sat and chatted. Then it was bathroom searching time were we fortunatly found some western-style toilets. Then it was a late lunch, where I ate some roast goose and used my awesome chopstick skills. The exchange rate here is like 7 to 1, and so it was so weird that our coffees cost 30 "Hong Kong dollars" and lunch for 8 people was 230. Dinner is soon, and then we have free time until bedtime. I think that we are going to sleep well tonight! Oh, by the way, it was about 60 degrees today.
