5:21PM adult legos or the world's largest container port?
I had one of the best meals of my life last night. The sun finally came out this morning. And still I woke up in a foul mood.
I’m hitting the 2-week wall that’s been pretty consistent on all of these legs. After 2 weeks, all I want to do is hang out with my family and sleep in my own bed again. But I’m only half way through this trip. So I trudge on.
Our schedule has been haywire here in Hong Kong and this stop hasn’t been as successful as I would have liked. Too many unavoidable twists and turns but we still have one jam packed day left that starts at 4AM tomorrow.
As for today, two of the more interesting stops were the world’s largest container port and Happy Valley race track in the middle of downtown. For a guy, the container port is mesmerizing. Its basically a giant erector set with pulleys and motors and things being lifted through the air. Its gearhead porn. My son is going to go nuts when he sees some of the video I took today.
The second stop was picturesque Happy Valley. Hong Kong loves its horse racing. Even on a wednesday night, the track is packed with the town’s who’s who. A massive grandstand lights the track which is completely surrounded by high rise buildings.
I didn’t win anything. And I left early so I could go back to the hotel and talk to my kids. That perked me up a little.
But now I need to get some sleep because my phone is going to start ringing in less than 4 hours.
