We walked and walked for hours checking out the different markets and areas of shopping! We found a VERY authentic restaurant for lunch to have Dim Sum which is Cantonese for "light snacks." You order a bunch of things and then share with everyone at the table... sort of like tapas or hors d'oeuvres! This place was in this hotel and was all decked out in chandeliers and tacky carpet and table coverings. There was going to be a wedding Reception there later in the day for Movis & Kenneth and it was all gaudy like an 80's wedding. It looked just like a scene from "The Wedding Singer." No one in this restaurant spoke English and it was definitely interesting ordering things and not being totally sure what would come out. It turned out to be pretty good and we all ate a bunch of things and spent awhile there as each dish came out separately! When our bill came we had no idea how much to expect because the prices were not listed on the menu... it came out to be about $8 a person for a lot of food... crazy!!!! Fun experience!
We waited until it was dark to take the ferry back over and the lights were amazing from the water! We had a drink at the hotel bar and then all headed out. Kate and I to the airport to take the red-eye back to Tokyo and Damian and Bruce back to the pier to get a ferry to the ship. It was a GREAT trip, we saw a ton and did almost everything on our list and got to spend lots of quality time together. I can't wait for him to be back home with me!!!!
