Well, John got his picture of the Queen Mary 2 leaving for Southampton yesterday. She really is big!
And Maria got her picture of her new bear. She really is fluffy!
Today we had a great afternoon, we went into Chinatown, 50 of the restaurants had set up tasting stations where you could get samples of food for $1 a plate. Some of the plates were quiete substantial.
We tried sweet and sour pork, ginger chicken, vegetarian dim sum, spring roll, assorted dumplings, steamed buns, some things where we couldn’t decide if they were sweet or savory, (but they were definatelly crispy), plum tea and of course Peking duck pancakes. I was stuffed!
It was very crowded and John had to queue ages for the Peking duck. But it was worth it.
We were lucky and saw a dragon/lion dance.
We also bought a wok, more slippers for Maria (you wouldn’t believe she only has one pair of feet), some prawns, some dried mushrooms (well we were told they’re mushrooms) and at last I got some firecrackers!!! Wheee….!!! John says I’m a menace, I don’t know why he bought them for me if he didn’t expect me to use them.
