Man alive, these took forever to load.Last night, the four of us went on this fabulous Champagne cruise the hotel hosted. We had no idea what to expect but it turned out to be fucking fabulous. They gave us little bottles of Moet and macadamia nuts and threw us on this candlelit ferry for an hour cruise along the harbor.
It was very champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
Then some man came around and gave us hot mulled wine!
That was followed by a huge, beyond fabulous Indian dinner, where they put a slice of lemon in my Gibson.
I've been taking lots of artsy pictures of the markets, which fascinate me. It seems profoundly unsanitary to chop up a cow on a sidewalk with a cigarette hanging out of one's mouth, but lo and behold, there they are, not giving a shit that I'm snapping pictures and batting flies off organ meats. The fish, which I do not eat, are gorgeous and exotic looking and when they cut the huge ones open, there's all kinds of weird looking tubes and bubbles I've never seen before.
Tomorrow, the folks and I are off to Penang and the baby boy is headed to Bangkok for a traditional Colonial hoilday.
Happy Thanksgiving, Americans!

Beautiful pictures! Have a great trip. I love Hong Kong. I went to the 7-11 and found out they don't serve coffee!
That pig intestine picture. To much...
Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads!
Have a good Thanksgiving. They celebrate it there, right? If not, insist that they do.

Have a great time. Thanks for the pictures. Were there any Asian burn-outs hanging around outside 7-11? Hope you find 12-c.
