Flat Stanley in Hong Kong - Week #2

So Flat Stanley's second week in Hong Kong was a little slower than his first week - partly because Gwen was sick (upper respiratory yuck).  So Stanley took advantage of this and checked out all the views out the window's of the apartment.


View from the guest bedroom of the harbour toward where the Kai Tak airport was.
View of a hill out of the guest bedroom window - harbour off in the distance.
View from the living room of a soccer field (football over here) and Lion's Rock mountain in the distance. 

View of the other apartments in the complex.
Thursday was a team lunch celebrating Angel's birthday and the perfect opportunity for Stanley to experience Dim Sum.

Pork on the left and rolled rice noodles with pork in the center on the right.

Stanley checking out the Singapore Noodles - they were an acceptable level of spicy.

Sesame balls on the left and Fried Tofu on the right.

Cow Stomach.

Steamed Shrimp Dumplings on the left and  Custard Bun on the right.  (We call this "yellow inside bao").

Sophie and Man showing Stanley the Shui Mai (open topped steamed pork dumpling with a shrimp on top) and vegetable dumpling on the right.
Saturday Stanley finally made it to Stanley :)

Bus ride through Hong Kong Island.
Stanley and Gwen checking out the view from the Plaza.



Patrick and Stanley looking at the boats in the water.

Stanley checking out the map of 'his' area.

View of Repulse Bay on the bus ride home.

Last view from the bus - The Peninsula Hotel.  Stanley likes Ferraris and Rolls Royces..
So we need to have a discussion with Stanley this week on when to book his return ticket to Virginia.
