We're going to miss you Dave!

On Dave's last day we took a "junk" boat around Hong Kong. I thought my dad had rented this boat and wondered why the guy we were meeting at the Clock Tower to take us on the boat was American.  Come to find out, my dad's best friend from Westfield set the boat ride up. Of course I wasn't filled in at all. So when he started to tell us where he was from back in the states and how he had an ex-girlfriend from Westfield I really looked like an idiot when I said, "NO WAY! What a small world, we are from Westfield!" Hopefully that will be the last time my dad doesn't fill me in...

That day was an absolutely gorgeous day! It wasn't too hot and definitely wasn't cold. Although you might have thought it was cold if you looked out your window and saw a bunch of people wearing puffy coats. We've come to the conclusion that its a fad.. they just want to dress in winter clothes. I don't know why they haven't died from heat exhaustion though. I'm walking around in a tank top, wishing I had sandals, while they are in big puffy jackets. I don't think I'll ever understand.

Anyways... back to this boat ride. It was great! Along with the free boat ride, we got free, unlimited beer. We could have gotten a free lunch but Dad lost the guys email address and couldn't tell him we would love to have lunch on the boat. They did have Doritos though.

After the boat ride we relaxed for a bit and then went to Jade Garden for dinner. The meal was delicious! At least Dad, Dave and I thought so... not so much mom. All you have to do is look at her napkin at the end of a meal to find out if she really enjoyed it or not.


At dinner we got drunken prawns. They bring the prawns out in a bowl of water... still alive. Throw some alcohol in there and put the top on. These prawns were jumping for air... literally. They did not want to go. After awhile our waitress came back over and lit the bowl of prawns on fire, tossed them around a bit and then served them to us. I promised myself I wouldn't eat them after watching that but I couldn't help myself. They were delicious.

That meal we also ordered "bao zi" a dish I couldn't wait to eat. I'm pretty sure I ate bao zi in Beijing almost every day. Bao Zi are steamed pork buns... DELICIOUS.

The apartment is definitely going to feel empty after Dave leaves! I wish he was staying for New Years Eve so I could have another "kid" to celebrate with.
