Yes, you read right -there's no post for our third day in Hong Kong as it generated very few pictures. It was a full work day for Jody with her presentation at Tracey's school, and a day spent mostly inside for me as it rained quite a bit. But, we still had fun and were able to have a nice dinner together in the hotel's Malaysia Restaurant. On day four Jody continued to work with Tracey and also interviewed one of her research assistants, Marie. We were also able to slip out for a real Chinese lunch that was quite delicious. Following lunch, we visited the University of Hong Kong and spent some time in its bookstore where Jody found this eye-opening book pictured below. It tells the story of a young North Korean girl who escapes along with her mother from N. Korea to China and finally to Seoul, S. Korea. It is a harrowing tale filled with unspeakable crimes against these two women. But, it's also a testament to human survival and what many refugees must go through to win freedom and life.
We joined Tracey and two of her friends, Jenny ( a professor at Tracey's School) and her husband, Benjy for dinner. We had delicious Peking Duck and just a great time. Seated from L to R - Dick, Jody, Tracey, Benjy and Jenny.
Following dinner, Jody, Tracey and I went for a walk downtown and round the harbor. Here is Jody and Tracey with a dramatic backdrop.
Of course, every city has to have a ferris wheel on it's harbor and Hong Kong is no exception as you can see in the center of this picture.
And in concluding the evening, we took a nice ferry ride across the harbor.
