Over the weekend.
I watched Johnny To's "Election" (especially good to hear it in its original Cantonese). Got asked for proof of age twice by the ticket seller and usher, both who explained to me that this film is Category III. Yes but hello, the age limit for Category III is 18?! Sigh.
Went gallivanting everywhere. Visited Sai Kung (seaside town, also with a Tin Hau temple), Wong Dai Sin (famous temple to seek fortune-telling, but no I didn't), Chi Lin Nunnery (beautiful and zen-looking, with a feel more Japanese than Chinese) and Sam Shui Po (electronic goods wholesale market). Also tried the Katong Laksa here (nearly authentic 'cept they don't have the thick bee hoon and substituted it with glass noodles), and gave up queuing for the famous Tai Cheong egg tarts (which Governor Patten used to love).
The weather here seemed to have changed overnight, like a giant air-conditioner was turned on by mother nature. Lovely. Hope I've got adequate clothing for this though.
