After a long Pacific flight we arrived in Hong Kong late on December 29th. After the train ride into the city we checked in to the Prudential Hotel on Nathan Road. We jumped into a taxi and with my limited mandarian "Buck King Do" and the next thing we were having a beer in Murphy's Bar in Kowloon.
Up bright and early the next morning we were off to Bobby's Custom Tailor's to get measured up for a few suits. They would be ready the next day but we needed to come back for a fitting that night.
We did the tourist things, riding the Star Ferry and taking a trip to The Peak. We stopped buy to see Mr. Bill's buddy and priced out a few Dunhill Lighters. But we were cheep verry cheep.
We found a bar on the waterfront called Dan Ryan's Chicago Bar & Grill. There were pictures of all of our recent mayor's as well as a Michael Jordan, but they did not have an Al Capone. George just had to try the Chicago Style Hotdog. I dont even want to know what they put in a hotdog in China.
Now you would think that the fireworks display on New Years in Hong Kong would be great. After all they invented fireworks. Well they did have a fireworks and light show. There were about 2 million people on the waterfront at 8pm, and the fireworks lasted about 15 minuites. Oh So Sorry.
