Today was a free day to roam about the city. We experienced some of the city transit: ferries, and the metro (subway). Michael, Ronaldo (the Brazilian who towers above them all except Bruce Lee), and myself walked a good part of Hong Kong Island, including a stumble into the central market. There is so much to see within the city. Along the bay front on the New Territories side (peninsula/main land) we came across a photovoltaic center (score one on the sustainability scavenger hunt!). There were signs explaining the operation, how it worked and how the city used the electricity. After a good waffle (believe me they were awesome!) and a nap we went off to a harbor dinner cruise! This was a pleasant ride that included dinner, live entertainment (don’t worry if you do not know the word just make noise that sounds like them), and the nightly Hong Kong light show. This show (which we had seen from one side of the harbor at the club Aqua) is in the record books for being the world’s largest permanent light and sound show. The dinner cruise was nice and they loved singing American songs and the Boone students (minus yours truly) got out there and entertained the rest of the boat with a dance or two.
