We did not leave HK without having our Xiao Long bao at Din Tai Fung! So we made a quick stopover at Din Tai Fung right before going to the airport just to make sure we ate there!!
So far, we have been to Shanghai and Hong Kong…for sure wherever there is a Din Tai Fung, we will be there :-)

We only rode a taxi once and we fortunately bumped into a very interesting taxi driver….
I saw these dancing soda cans in his taxi and I showed it to my son….and the taxi driver told us that he made them! We were amazed! He said that he does it during his spare time in the taxi since he spends most of his time inside the car.
Then he showed us in his cellphone all his other works!!! I told him to give me his email address so I can show him my website, but he said he does not have email and does not have time because he gets home so late from work already since he has to earn a living in his cab. I told him to make more dancing soda cans and sell them!!!
We all know about the dangers of plastic bags
Previous Entry: The Dangers of Plastic Bags August 6, 2008
I was shopping in Watsons and the cashier asked me if I had a bag- and since I did not bring any with me on the trip - I just said I did not have one- then I saw my bill go up by a few cents!
I WAS SO HAPPY! For once in my life, I was happy they were charging me for a plastic bag! After that, I never asked for a plastic bag anymore I think it is a good way to reinforce the need for us to use recyclable bags and not use plastic anymore….I hope our country follows suit

It was a Sunday and we were crossing Queensway Bridge to go to our restaurant for dinner……
and we saw this… In Hong Kong, Sunday is the day when the domestic workers are given a day off
At first i could not believe it….then I had mixed feelings- first ashamed… they built their own picnic grounds using cardboard boxes, some removed their shoes and put up their feet, and they had food which they brought with them and you could smell different kinds of smell from the food….then later on I felt pity….but then again I looked at them and they seemed to be having a good time. I regret not talking to any of them and asking them….
Could this be the reason why others look down on us Filipinos? Could this be the reason there are no chairs/couches in the malls to avoid circumstances like this? Why isn’t anyone doing anything about it?
