Day 2 in Hong Kong

I'm well rested after my drug assisted full night's sleep. Wei Yan wakes up several times during the night, and Sam only sleeps for a few hours before waking up at 4am. We decide to get some coffee at the hotel coffee shop - and I order the combo with 2 dan tat - they have a little of carmelization on top, sort of like a creme bruleee, and they are very yummy. We eat dim sum again for lunch (well, at 10:30am, we are eating lunch, and we're not sure what the senior citizens are eating) - no carts again, so we have to order. Bummer since we're hoping we can try some new stuff one of these days by checking out stuff on carts. We get our money changed with Dave's help. We check out some of Dave's favorite food at Sham Shui Po and then head to Mong Kok to look for a watch for Sam & look for some bargains. Yesterdays shopping seemed to yield only sales as name brand stores that are all about the same as US prices.

1st for today:
1. I see a man sitting at tables in an alley for a won ton soup stand (in Sham Shui Po) kick a mouse. The mouse at first seems unfazed, then after being kicked for a second time is gone in a blink of an eye. I tried to show the others, but it is gone before they can look.
2. See a man dressed as a steak. Some promotion is all I can guess, but since his sign is in Chinese, we just take some pictures and leave.

Wow... poor mouse! When we went to HK I developed an allergy to MSG on my lips... they were very swollen. SO TASTY, but Eaters beware.
