Hong Kong - Day 3

This morning I was unsuccessful again at finding my Tai Chi class. I later found out it is on the other island during the week. At least now I know.
So I had a lovely coffee and watched the world pass by me in its busy state. I've decided all there is to do in Hong Kong is eat, shop and work.
In the coffee shop the quote was: "If you add to the truth, you subtract from it" The Tilman
Eating is really quite amazing. The food is awesome. And I'm really doing my best to not only feast on Chinese Pastry's. They are all so yummy.
Shopping, well that's kind of pointless for my not at all Asian body.
And the sights are great, but once they are done, they will be done.
Today I took in the Appreciation of Chinese Medicine. It was very interesting as was the Tea Tasting.
Tonight I though I would do a reflexology appointment. That was quite painful too. And then they wanted to throw in 30 mins of regular massage. I was trying to explain that I had a massage yesterday and I was still very tender. I thought they didn't understand. But I ended up with the massage anyway, and turns out they did understand. It was very gentle and done with a relaxing and healing oil. Oh thank goodness.
On top of that, I am shoppingm shopping and shopping. Nothing else to do while I am walking. I am enjoying myself though. I walk and walk and walk. And most of the time I am not rushing. Much of the time I am in discovery mode and it doesn't matter which road I wander down. I am filtering through lots of things, and buying only what I really, really like, or think that someone else will.

Off to wander some more.
