Again - back on the material search, but today we head to "Home Depot Road," at least that's what we call it. Like in Sham Shui Po, but now more industrial. Drill store, fake drill store, rubber store, pipe store, plastic store, castor wheel store, tarp store, you name it - you can find it with enough time. Our search was for some thin rubber, and found it, along with 2 friendly ladies, and the smelliest 4ft by 15ft space ever. Talk about headache. But all pains were gone after our DIM SUM lunch, amazing. For those that don't know, Dim Sum describes a dish that involves small individual portions of food, usually served in a small steamer basket and served with continuous hot tea. Mysterious, meaty and held in these beautiful bamboo baskets. I can confidently say my chopsticks skills are drastically improving. Back to Fabric Town to buy a sewing machine - so many colors in these shops, quite beautiful. Will, Chris, and I left work early to hike "the Peak." Victoria's Peak overlooks the city and was said to be beautiful at sunset - we pretty much ran the entire way (a 6 mile run!) to try and see it. Exhausted and dressed in our best sweatpants, we proceeded to drink cheap beer and enjoy the hazy, yet magnificent view.
