Its Tuesday must be Kowloon

Tuesday, 11:00 am ferry from; Shenzhen 深圳 (shen zhen)
to Kowloon 九龙 (Jiu Long) Nine Dragons.
MRT from Tsim Sha Tsui 尖沙嘴 (TST) to Mong Kok 旺角 (Wang jiao)
Meet a couple of folks at Langham Place Hotel, then off.
MRT to Hong Kong Island 香港岛 (Xiang Gang Dao)
Exit at; Admiralty 金钟 (jin zhong) Subway station 地铁站 (di tie zhan)
Take Care of business then back to TST in time for the 4:15 ferry back to the Mainland.

NB:
Going for lunch is a full contact sport
; NO EYE CONTACT, is the golden rule. It's no wonder MP3 and ipods are Omnipresent, as most Hongkongers create their own reality.

"The Best Tea House Co., Ltd."
In the very, very crowded area of TST. (near site of the old Hyatt Regency)
Just around the corner is; "Ying Kee Tea House" Tea shops are great places to meet and talk with people .. in Hong Kong you find more English is spoken. Shops are small, shoehorned into non existing spaces.
Quality of goods, fair, but with less selection when compared to most in Guangdong. I look for items not found in Mainland stores, mostly hand crafted paraphernalia or imported items (not from China)

No rain, but Plenty of clouds as we pass Hong Kong Island. The port is in full swing and you can feel the buzz all over. But, back in Dongguan they had a down pour ... I got back around 5:30 pm and the rain was gone. Lucky me.
