Another area of Kowloon, for a typical Chinese breakfast of cheung fun , at a hole-in the wall.
These were plain (not filled with meat as they frequently appear with dim sum), and doused with several sauces, imparting a soy/peanut flavor.We followed this immediately with another hole-in-the-wall serving Sichuan spicy/sour noodles and chicken in a spicy sesame sauce accompanied by coconut milk to cut the heat. Yum!

Tsim Sha Tsui (another bustling district), along the harborfront, for a great view of the Hong Kong skyline, and the rather dry Space Museum. It might not be apparent in the photo below that the building in the far left background is 118 stories tall, the tallest building in the city. (Jase's sister Cheryl works in it.)
Avenue of the Stars. A statue of Bruce Lee is akin to the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen, a local icon.
Kowloon Park: some great Banyan trees and waterfowl like Swans, Mandarin ducks, and Flamingos different from the pink ones I'm used to seeing.
Tsim Sha Tsiu (TST), and the main drag Nathan Road. We snacked at a diner-type place on a toasted roll with sweetened cond milk, fried rice, and chicken soup.
Egg Balls (similar to little waffles) from a walk-up vendor:
On Christmas Eve throngs of people were filling the streets:
We took the Star Ferry across the harbour to the Hong Kong Island side. The buildings were lit with elaborate Christmas lights.
