Day 8 - Kung Hey Fat Choy

Happy Lunar New Year!
We get a slow start, but need to be out to visit Wei Yan's grandmother by 2pm. We grab a quick roast pork bun & then arrive 15 min late. She is up & awake today. We wish her a Happy New Year and visit for a while. It's a bit hard to understand her because of the stroke, but she is able to smile on both sides of her face, more on one than the other, but enough that you can tell the left side has regained some mobility. Her eyes light up & she smiles when she recognized Wei Yand or when she sees me smiling at her. I'm pretty sure she doesn't know who I am or can't remember, but it's ok. We find out she is 95.

After the visit, we head back to Causeway Bay. We eat a mini cheesecake (which is more like a cheesecake flavored sponge cake) and check out Lai Chi Kok Park at the Mei Foo MTR station. There are some funny signs of what you can't do at the park, but we do see some Filipina maids playing cards in the park.

We decide on Japanese curry for dinner. Service is the most terrible of the whole trip. The curry gives me a bit of tummy ache, but after Dave finds me some antacid at a store, we end up heading out to check out an arcade. It's in the building right next to the Excelsior. It's pretty cheap - maybe $5 HK dollars at the most for a game. After that, we stop at the same place we got take out dessert before & we get some watermelon & strawberry slushy stuff with mini tapioca balls in it. Sam & Wei Yan head back to the bar at Excelsior for a beer, and I head back to the Apt with Dave. Not a very eventful day, the streets are eearily quite today - most folks are visiting family.
