Oriental Pearl






It was in a hurry to rush to Tsimshatsui and meet our Brazilian friend after a whole day long meetings. Tuesday evening is the evening that do not have any club presentations for the inbound GSE team. I waited Dacio and Kenneth, the team leaders from both team outside the Cultural Centre.

The narration of the Symphony of Light, the renowned sound and light shows that goes into the Guiness Record, had been started. It came up with lazer light display from the highrise buildings and colourful light effects at the most famous building surrounding the Victoria Harbour. The whole deck of audience at the second storey balcony were all amazed with such a specticular backdrop of a metropolitan city. Dacio held the camera to capture the every moment of the show.

After the show, we walked through the most busiest and longest shopping avenue in Hong Kong - the Nathan Road. We headed to a well-known wonton noodle shop to enjoy the crumpy shrimp wonton ( a chinese dumpling).

We planned to go the Temple Street afterwards, but concerning the heavy treasure (a big racksack which carried all the documents that Dacio collected from the visit from ICAC - an anti-corruption body in Hong Kong) that Dacio carried. We decided to bring him to change to a more casual outfit.

Then we walked lightly from the waterfront to Temple Street. The street is full of open air food stores and small stalls that sell all kind of interesting items. Dacio was happy to explore the items, while he is a very decisive shopper, he did not shop for anything. I am sure he is planning to come back later on the free days.

All shops were still open as we went home at 11:00pm.

The lights in night are still sparkling every evening in this special Pearl in Oriental. We are looking forward to see the Pearl in South Amercia very soon.
