Hong Kong - Day 3

We took the subway to my old neighbourhood. Sadly, I didn't recognize any landmarks. It has been 35 years! We checked out some street markets nearby. There was the flower market, the goldfish market, the ladies’ market (sold stuff of interest to women) and then we went to the temple where I remembered going with my grandmother, the Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple. When we got there, I didn’t remember it after all just the name. I have vague memories of fortune tellers and incense but no great details.

While I checked out yet another mall, Don read the paper at Starbucks. We followed that up with more shopping at the Temple Street Night Market. It was raining and people were still setting up but we still heard lots of vendors calling out “copy watch-ee”. We, of course, had to buy a couple for about $5 Cdn. Nice CK watches!

There was a Typhoon Warning Level 1 today, hope it doesn’t get much worse tomorrow since we want to go to Lantau Island. We found out later that they hoisted the No. 3 Tropical Cyclone signal that evening and the Symphony of Lights was suspended. Good thing we saw it when we did.
