She arrives at 12:45 and so we have time for breakfast and shopping. Amazingly, there are French bakeries on almost every street, and we had chocolate croissants and a raspberry financier. With coffee of course! Then we hit the streets for more shopping.
Still crazy hot and humid - and for those of you in CC who think you might be used to it, I have one word HAH. Because of the density, there is no breeze, and even the locals are uncomfortable.
Back to hotel to wait for Isabel - so great to see her and give her a big hug. It's been 7 months which was too long.
Then we went out for noodles - with shrimp dumplings for me, and pork dumplings for the meat eater. Tiny place, and we got to see the dumpling guy make them - Isabel's estimate is that he did about 30/minute. I just say that his hands were constantly in motion.
Then we shopped - in the rain. Rain kinda cooled things down, but the humidity rose to about 200%!
Back to the hotel for me, while Loren and Isabel shopped for a while at "mall" PMQ with many small shops of items made in Hong Kong.
They came back, rested, then out to see city at night.
