Couldn't figure out what to use as a title....

Today we got fatter. Well, we started with breakfast at the hotel this morning (same as every other day so far). Then moved to Pacific Place for lunch (a big shopping centre in Admiralty). Lunch was Mozzerella & Proscuittio (spelling?) sandwiches from one of the nicest supermarkets that we've found. The one sandwich cost abou HKD 59, for about a foot length. Which we shared... Then we decided to walk(?) the escalator, which is the longest escalator (we believe) in the world. It takes you from Central (where Andrew works) to the top of Midlevels (suburb). In the morning until 10:20am, the escalator goes down. After that, it goes up. It is not, however enclosed and air-conditioned. So in summer it is probably very warm. Right now, it was mostly ok, although after 20 minutes we decided that it was time for a break. Conveniently, we happened to be passing a cafe called The Phoenix. Very nice.

We caught the ferry to Discovery Bay, which is an island about 30 minutes away from Central. It's quite popular as a place to live for expats. However, the somewhat "moving" trip on the ferry led us to decide that it is probably not a feasible location for us (Sonia).

Now, we are home, and Sonia is cooking dinner. On the menu tonight, is pasta, with meat sauce made from a jar of Smokey Bacon sauce and a lump of mince purchased from the supermarket. Mince and Smokey Bacon, I hear you ask? I'll update the blog again once we have sampled the results.

Here is a photo of Sonia at work, watching the pasta cook in a frypan (that is all we have) in our little kitchen situated right next to the bathroom (Sonia's back is to the bathroom).
