Saturday March 6th - Rod Stewart Concert

I started off the day by meeting my friend Lihui for lunch, we found a small cafe and shared several different plates (I had carrot soup which was very good). I met up with my friend Cathy at her place for snacks and wine before the concert, she introduced me to her friend Alex. The three of us had a great time and Rod is still a fabulous entertainer. Afterwards Cathy & I went to a bar near her flat and played darts until 2 am...



Sunday, March 7th - brunch at Aqua
I crawled out of bed around 11 am to meet Cathy & friends at noon for brunch. It was a champagne, all you can eat/drink brunch. I was introduced to three new individuals who are new to Hong Kong, Ercu is from Singapore was in HK for a weekend, Tracy is from UK moved here two weeks ago, and Jason is from Wisconsin, moved from UK to HK last week. I had arrived a little early and had an opportunity to talk with Jason. He is from Milwaukee and we went to Moorhead State University at the same time (he was biology & I was business), what a SMALL world!!! Brunch was fantastic, fresh seafood (oysters, clams, prawns), sushi & sushi rolls, 4 different pastas, your main course (I selected salmon), and dessert. Again, we could order as many plates as we wanted... Dessert was something special (see photos), creme brulee, tirimusu, ice creams, lemon sorbet, orange sorbert (see photos of frozen orange & lemon), the presentation was fantastic!!! We finished up around 4:30 and ventured to an Irish pub for a couple beers and I arrived home around 7:30 pm. It was early to bed for me!!!
