Back in Hong Kong

On Saturday night we left Kathmandu and flew over night to Hong Kong.  We arrived at the hotel around 9 am and went straight to bed for a nap.  But we were up by lunch so we could go and see the Tai Chi demonstration in Kowloon Park.  My Dad has missed this each time he has been to Kong Hong so we planned this trip so we would be there for Sunday afternoon.  The show was put on by a local club and it is a different club each week.

We spent the next day, Monday, walking around the city.  It is such a lively city with lots of sites to see.  We visited the market and did some shopping.  We went to the flower market with shops packed with orchids and then to the Bird Market.  The Bird Market was very interesting.  Anything you wanted to for birds was there.  Bamboo cages, little chinese bowls for food and lots of live insects.  What is interesting about this park was that owners bring their birds in their cages to the park and hang them in the trees.  The owners then can sit and visit with other bird owners.
