I guess my first adventurous act was to try the 'suggested drink' at the first Starbucks I saw in the HK airport... the drink's motto was "Coffee in the Jelly; Jelly in the Coffee." If any of you have ever had Bubble Tea, you'll have a better idea of what I'm talking about haha. Just imagine a vanilla latte with pieces of Jello in the bottom that also slurp up through your straw. I think it was supposed to be coffee flavored gelatin, but all I tasted was the vanilla latte! Starbucks did have a green tea red bean cookie, too, but I haven't tried that yet... although I had a green tea muffin stuffed with red bean last year and it was pretty good.
Today we had some team meetings and wandered around the city a bit. Get this: egg on croissant with oatmeal and coffee for breakfast, Indian curry for lunch, and finally had Chinese food for dinner! That was spicy beef noodles. Oh the joys of being in a former British colony. Still excited for the sour noodle shop in our destination city though!!
Okay I really need to get to bed - 12 hrs in the future means it's almost 1am ahhh. At least the 12 hour time difference meant that I didn't have to change my watch!
Glad to know you arrived safe! Family isn't the same witout you! Look forward to living your adventures through these posts!

Haha... well its nice that you didn't have to change your watch, but the food sounds exceptional. That is, with the exception of the gelatin in the coffee.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I don't like coffee. Second, I don't want to be slurping up gelatin from the bottom of a hot drink. I think the closest I'll get to that will be marshmellows in hot chocolate.... Third though, you should always try everything ONCE at least. (Just don't tell me what it is first)
I hope I can check out some of the foods there eventually. My little sister just got back from 3+ months in China in June!
Glad to hear you arrived safely. Have a wonderful year and come home safe next summer. Love you.
