Well this weekend we played it pretty low key. Friday we started with Bao (dumplings) in Causeway Bay and rode a tram for the first time. Super cheap HK$2.3 (US$ 0.30) for as far as you want to go from one end of the island to the other - like 13 kilometers.

Then Saturday we went to pick up Gwen's iPhone 5 - so we is back in touch with life again. For dinner that night we hiked to Soho to a small Thai restaurant. There is a web site here that is so much better than Urban Spoon in the US - it is called Open Rice - and that is how most of our meal locations are selected. I think we would be starving without it - because some of these places we would not have found or ventured into without reading reviews.
Then on Sunday we ventured up to Hollywood for our typical brunch (gonna miss this when we move). On our way home we stopped at the local Park'N Shop (which I find funny because no one here owns a car to park) for some milk and cereal. I snapped some pictures of some 'imported' items.

| Florida OJ at US$3.83 per gallon - didn't buy as Gwen hates OJ. |
 |
| Slightly expensive cereal (US$5.50) which Gwen did buy. |
Patrick then went to a driving range (Gwen caught up on some US TV). Then off to dinner - another find. So in our walks we have seen this giant neon cow - well we ventured in (after reading many reviews).
 |
| Neon street sign which was as big as the restaurant. |
 |
| 2 Carlsberg beers in honor of our expat friends in Copenhagen (Stine and Monnier families) |
 |
| Patrick's steak with "Sammy's special sauce" (onions and celery - Gwen had chicken) |
