I woke up to get ready for class and met Don in the Royal Club Lounge where we had breakfast. I had some toast, bacon, yogurt, grapefruit juice and coffee. From there we agreed to leave at 7:30. We caught the train on the East Line of Mong Kok to University where we switched to the 272K bus. I got some money at the station before getting the bus. A few moments after we got on the bus Han got on so we waved him down and he sat with us. It helped a bit because he was able to get us directly into the office with his ID when we got there. The class started at 9 and we had a few minutes to get set up and see the facilities and meet some of the other people. The class went well enough and we worked until 5:30 with a stop for lunch at around 11:30. The lunch was at a Chinese restaurant in the food court near the office. The restaurant was called Ocean Blue. I had eggplant with pork and dried shrimp with rice. It was reasonably good. When class was over we got on the bus with one of Don's students, Bong who works in the Hong Kong office. The line for the bus was huge and we didn't think we would get on but the bus holds 124 passengers and we did get in after all. Bong rode the East Line back towards Mong Kok but got off a stop earlier than us. We got back to the room and Daniela was waiting for me to go out for dinner.
I got cleaned and changed and we looked at La Scala which is a buffet restaurant in the hotel but decided I didn't want buffet so went instead to Di King Heen on the 3rd floor of the hotel. You have to go to the lobby to get to it. We had a set meal and one other item. The set meal included a bunch of appetizers, bird's nest soup, scallops, waigyu beef in wasabi noodles and dessert. Daniela's order was a live prepared chicken that had a lot of fire involved in the preparation. Kenny the waiter was very good and attentive and we liked him a lot. We had a shiraz to accompany the food. All the food was very tasty and we enjoyed the meal. Daniela particularly liked her chicken which is eaten off the bone though hacked into small pieces. We basically shared everything because Kenny was very helpful about that. After dinner which took a long time it was back to the room for the night.
