the proper way to SPEND easter.
Oops wrote the entry and forgot to post it. Here's something late.
The big Easter day plan yesterday was to take a free Chinese cake-making class and then come home and paint Easter eggs, eat french toast and be merry.
But the best-laid plans...
When we arrived at the class, we were informed that it was already full. Sadness. It was noon (very early for a hong konger) and we were in TST (Tsim Sha Tsui, on the Kowloon side. A great distance from Wei Lun). Well hating to waste a $9 trip accross the harbor, Beth and I fell to doing what we do best. Shopping.
And shop we did. I offered to take her to the Jade Market, since she'd never been, and I wanted to buy a necklace for one of the girls back home. It is quite a long walk to the Jade Market though and there were a lot of shoe shops along the way. I managed to control myself and did not purchase any shoes. Beth got a shirt at the Nike store that said "Futbolistas smoke the grass" Its magnificent.
Halfway to the Market we met up with Shahar. Eventually we got there and in the typical fashion of the women of my tribe, I bought myself a pearl necklace and didn't get anything for my friend. Next time though. Beth managed to find a wooden bracelet and a leather and jade belt. We pretty much purchased every material at the Jade Market that was not Jade. Smooth huh?
Post Jade we got lunch at the Spaghetti House, then did some more shopping on a side-street in TST. Beth bought a painting of HK which I fully intend to do as well sometime soon. Donations welcome. I bought a new shirt and a dress, both adorable and only $10US each.
Eventually we dragged ourselves back to a bus stop (after stopping for Gelato of course) and came home and made really classy Easter eggs. We're not exactly artists.
Later I met Anna on the roof for Easter chocolates and gossip. We ate the ears and face off her chocolate bunny.
I finished the night with Audrey Hepburn a la Breakfast at Tiffany's.
And that's how you do Easter. Apparently.
