We decided to wake up and meet later. So I got to breakfast by 7. Don apparently couldn't sleep any more so he was there at 6:30 apparently but he didn't quite go out so late as we did. I had toast, hash browns, bacon and yogurt along with orange juice and coffee. We left probably around 7:45 to 7:50 and with the normal connections made it to the office by 8:30 easy. We got set up and I started class at 9am as they want here. We carried the first lecture into lab time which got us to lunch. We went to lunch at a pay first cafeteria. I had curry beef brisket and rice with instant coffee. The curry was good but the coffee was what you would expect from instant coffee. We headed back and finished up the class by 5:30 and I had to run after a few minutes back to the hotel to get Daniela so we could go out to dinner with the people from the office. They chose a restaurant in Shatin which was not where we are staying. Don said he would come with to drop off his stuff at the hotel as well.
When we got there Daniela was still not back from shopping at the Lady's Market and we had to wait a while for her to return which was unfortunate because the reservations were made for 6:30 and after all we didn't leave for Shatin Station until 7:10. We probably got there around 7:30 an entire hour late. The restaurant was a Chinese Shanghai style. They had shark fin soup with a dumpling in it, sweet and sour fish, other dumplings, cabbage with ham, duck, other fish, chicken, soups, and a bunch of other things. Everything was really good and I managed to drop a beef thing into a bowl of broth and completely splash my shirt with the broth. They had a rice ball soup for dessert which was interesting. We had tea and some Tsing Tao beer as well along the way. The food was all tasty and they made sure we tried basically everything. I was full and didn't want the dessert by the time they forced it on us. We left the restaurant at about 10:00 and went straight back to the room. I was exhausted and passed out after a few minutes.
