Hong Kong is a very international city!

They have Italian, Mandarin, Cantonese, steak houses. Anything you'd expect of a major city. Its not like its all noodles and dumplings. :huh:

 :rolleyes: Maybe it's down the fact that not every restaurant in Hong Kong serves Chinese food.

My wife and I went to a Chinese restaurant.  Ordered 2 simple dishes, none of which came after a 45 minute wait. 

2 days later, 9 of my colleagues and I went to the same place.  The 10 dishes came within the first 15 minutes. 

I hate them for discriminating against small parties  :yuk:

One of the places I went to took forever to bring us our food, and we had to keep reminding the waiter to bring several things we had ordered. Maybe it was because we were a little more casual than the rest of the diners (though this wasn't a "wear a tie" place), or because it was just two of us, or we were the only foreigners... Food was really good though.

I went to a rodeo yesterday. It was kinda fun watching people get stomped on by broncos.

I like it when they get kicked in the head.

Yeah, I definitely root for the livestock in those.  Hilarious.
Of course, if I had a belt wrapped around my johnson three notches too tight, I'd start stomping people too.

Hm.  Went to some place called Houlihan's for food thinking it was the same place I had gone to as a kid.  It wasn't, but it was alright.  Inexpensive ($10-$20 per entree), and not gross. Can't complain, I suppose.

Oh and my car is getting repainted again.  Yay.  Another week of sitting around at home unable to go anywhere without risking my life by walking.

I'm confused by how many colleagues here pronounce Edinburgh as "Eee-din-borg".  :huh:

That's okay, the British can't pronounce it either.
