Our guide Matthew took us on a tour of Hong Kong today! We began our day with a sampan ride. The boat ride really gave us a different view of the city. We saw how the fisheman not only made a living but also lived. True Hong Kong fisherman have 2 boats. The first is for fishing the second is thier home. They say if the water is their home and would get sick if they left the sea just as many of us get sea sick on the water. We then toured a jewelry store where they hand crafted the jewelry. Most of the guys on the tour gave nervous looks to their spouses as we entered the store. Scott bragged about how I wasn't really into jewerly only to have to take back his words when I found a jade piece I fell in love with. We then visited a buddhist temple, took a walk on the boardwalk and ventured to Victoria's Peak where we got a birds eye view of the city... Amazing. We then ended the tour with an authentic dim sum lunch. Scott really enjoyed this and even used chopsticks with much success. I was a bit nervous when it came to the food though. It's not like Fear Factor but the crab eggs were a little over the top for me. Tonight we are going back to the river front to watch a laser light show. Tomorrow we leave for Nanning (2 more days until we meet Karsen!!)
