Wei Yan's cousin Dave shows us around, gets us a Metro pass and allows us to check email at his in-law's place. We aren't able to get in touch with Wei Yan's uncle, but do talk to Wei Yan's mom. We checked out Times Square, which is close to our hotel - there are decorated pigs in the front of the Times Square building. Our favorites are the panda pig & the eight ball pig. Wei Yan's other cousin Catherine takes over as tour guide. We try fried, curried fish balls. We also find the local Crispy Creme - and Wei Yan can't resist. The doughnuts end up costing 2x the cost in the US. The fish balls were $0.25 US.
We take the boat to Tsim Sha Tsui. There we eat a Cantonese style dinner - we even eat sweet & sour pork, which ends up being the best dish of the night. We are yawning by 8:00pm and head back on the MTA. I decide to take a sleeping pill since I didn't sleep that well. Sam & Wei Yan definitely had a harder time sleeping last night, but decide that they are tired enough to sleep fine. All in all, I think we walked for 6 hours today, so we figure sleep is in order.
