Hong Kong Trip part 3

Our last meal in Time Square HK. Kids are somewhat few and far between outside of a school. Our group withh 6 kids all under 10 is a unique thing we were met with acceptance such as in this case where we had our own private dining room, or we were given the brush-off. 3 hours after this picture, we were on a flight back to Perth. This meal was the best we had in HK. Each meal we had was better than the last. Everything is about 50% the cost in US. So we had many extravegant meals for reasonable prices.

Once on the Peak in the center of the shopping mall, we hit the stores and tourist shopped. The girl had a twenty minute meltdown that attracted the attention of everyone in a 100meter radius. Her fit was so violent that a Japanese tourist had to assist me with the stroller down the steps.

On the Peak, a sign outside the Burger King takes "mind the gap" subway warning to a new level. There are funny signs like this everywhere in the land of Engrish. This guy looks like he is about to take a digger.

So the girls went fabric shopping in Schenchen. That left David and I with all six kids. We are stuggling up the hill to the Zoo and the park by the Peak Tram. The kids make things a little more difficult with endless trips to the washroom and constant bickering; but they also live in the moment and really enjoy the smaller things that make the trip more fun.
