Cananda D'eh

Canada day was excellent! Apparently the person who developed Lan Kwan Fong was Canadian so they celebrate it pretty hard. Hong Kong also has the next day off so our street was packed. Joe and I got some half liter hogos then went bar hopping. We met some amazing Hong Kong locals who seemed to love Americans and our dance skills. We hit up a couple bars then found ourselves in a Russian ice bar. Unfortunately, the "ice bar" was just like 50 degrees and the ice blocks that made up the walls were made of plastic. But after being a hot sweaty mess the faux ice did feel nice.

The next morning we slept in until about one after that pesky Canada day. Then, for lunch, had some traditional dim sum. We had some chicken feet, dumplings, and noodles. The chicken feet were pretty gross to look at and actually just pretty gross in general. Joe and I were a little out of our element at this place but we ended up with a good meal. After this we took the star ferry which is Hong Kong's pride and glory for public transportation. We went across the river back into Kowloon. The public transportation here is amazing. The star ferry and MTR are way above anything in NYC. Walking through the subway system is like walking through a luxury mall.

Once in Kowloon we went to the Hong Kong Art Mueseum which was excellent! There was a really good exhibit of contemporary art that was hosted by Lois Vutton. I'm not a huge fan of a museum partnering with a commercial entity but some of the art pieces were utterly amazing. After this we headed to the Science Museum. It was basically a playground packed with children. I wasn't a huge fan because when I wanted to play anything there would be a large line of impatient kids looking like, "WTF is this guy doing taking my toys". We then took the MTR back to our hotel and are slowly recuperating.
