i like how all of you refer to this obsession with food and eating as a ‘thing’ that only happens to you in hong kong. newsflash boys, we’re like that ALL the time!!! in fact, where are we all going to eat together next? i guess for Joey’s spring break?

glad you had a good time!

wow, that kid in the first photo has a shirt like something you would wear, joey. must run in the family

whenever we visit HK it’s the same thing… when do we go out to eat next? it seems that’s all people do there. i suppose it’s got something to do with most people not having houses large enough to entertain at home like we do on this side of the pacific.

The dan dan mien was better than Ningtu. The noodles especially were the perfect soft texture. As for the spinning chair, it seemed like a rather dangerous device to have in a playground for 5-9 year olds, since it was almost impossible to stop once it got going (even with my long legs it was hard to reach the ground to get it to stop).

Wow, that dan-dan mien looks so good. So authentic. How did it compare to say Ning-tu?

You looked like you were having too much fun in that chair. I suspect it has nothing to do with fancy physics at all. The non-stop motion was actually being produced by a gnome operating a crank-shaft apparatus several feet under directly under the toilet plunger looking chair. That’s what I think.
