Hong Kong - The Lions Fall

Saturday morning we headed to Kennedy Town to check out the possibility of a new apartment in a slightly more friendly location. It looked great and the apartment was much lighter and the air conditioning was better and all round facilities seemed much better than where we currently are. The view from the apartment was fantastic out across the water and now we hope we can make the move. It would make a huge difference being on flat ground instead of perched up on a hill.

Once we had had a good look around we got on the street tram to get back to Central. We thought we might try Maxims at City Hall for some Dim Sum before going to watch the rugby. When we got to City hall there was a 45 minute waiting time so we decided to look elsewhere. We headed up the Mid Levels escalator and when we saw Dublin Jacks pub we decided to head in there for an Irish Lunch and see if we could secure a good seat to watch the game.

Lunch was good, it was nice to have something that we know from home and we managed to secure a prime position to watch the game. The place filled up in the last 30mins before the game started and we were so glad we had our little booth to watch it from. The girls behaved really well although they were subjected to being in the pub for several hours they enjoyed themselves….I think. As for the game I will just say that I was happy and Catherine was less so. Although she is well pleased that a Welshman scored that first try.

After the game we headed to the Wan Chai computer centre again to look for a Mini iPod that we have been toying with buying. However after a few glasses of “the black stuff” and the game we had a short look around and decided it was a little dangerous to be in the place for too long. It really is the kind of place where you could blow any budget you had in seconds if you like your gadgets.

So it was off home for the evening which ended up being a good choice.
