\nWe then went on to the place Maria has been buying her slippers and she got another pair (they are very pretty but does anyone really need three pairs?) and Claire got a pair too. Between the pair of them they could open a shoe shop. Then Claire bought some bowls and chopsticks, John put his foot down and said that since she already had 3 sets Maria didn’t need any more. We also had to get some fresh prawns (they are very good) and some BBQ pork and a duck. Guess what we’re having for tea.
\nWe went to a Dim Sum restaurant for lunch, we were lucky and got there just as the queues were starting. By the time we left people were having to wait out on the street. We had a Dim Sum platter and most of it was very nice, there was one thing we could not identify, looked rather like a sponge and had a strange texture. John and I ate it but Maria and Claire just tasted it and wouldn’t have any more.
\nAfter popping back to the appartment, we left John there and the rest of us went up to 53rd St West to the Museum of Art and Design, otherwise known as MAD. There was an exhibition of beadwork Claire wanted to see and we were also quite interested in their Kimono exhibition and their Fringe exhibition. The fringes were rather disappointing but the rest was great. We could have spent loads of money in the shop but mostly resisted. Since we were close by we decided to visit St. Patricks Cathedral. As we were walking accross 53rd St towards 5th Ave WE PASSED THE LIBRARY EDWARD BEAR (aka WINNIE THE POOH) AND HIS FRIEND LIVE IN. We of course went in to visit, it was a great privilege to meet a bear of his stature. He was very gracious to such an insignificant bear as I and kindly allowed me to take his picture.

\nAfter that of course the rest of the day was insignificant. We went to the Cathedral and then back home via a chocolate shop.
