Leaving Hong Kong

As I noted before, I don't know when my next post will be since China restricts internet use, including access to blogs (it's that whole freedom of speech/press thing I guess). I have no new pictures now - woke up this morning to thunder, which was pretty awesome, but it makes it hard to go out with the camera. But I will be taking plenty over the next few days, and I'll post them as soon as I can get back on here. Leaving for Beijing this evening.

Last night I was invited to come back here. I went to the same restaurant for both lunch and dinner - because Jewell likes it, and we could get there without going out into the rain, and it has a huge panoramic view of the harbor - and one of the waitresses remembered the drink I'd ordered at lunch, and asked if I wanted it again. When I did later during dinner, it was very easy to order, especially since I didn't remember what it was! As we left, she asked if I'd be in tomorrow, perhaps as a joke, perhaps not. And I said no, we would be flying out. So she told me that the next time I came to Hong Kong, which I said I thought would be in September, that I had to come to the restaurant again, and she would remember my drink for me. We'll see.

I think I've delayed repacking long enough, though the mess next to me begs to be left alone a little longer. I'll post again as soon as I'm allowed. Until then. Goodnight from Hong Kong.
