On Saturday, Matt and I went with Kelly and Raul to their friend's house for another Thanksgiving dinner. It was MUCH more relaxing than the Thanksgiving dinner we made for ourselves. To start with, the location was gorgeous. The weather was very San Diego-like...you know, "non weather", where the air temperature is almost the same as the temperature of your skin, and the air is neither dry nor humid. Basically, it was perfect and sunny and clear. The best part was, our host's had a yard...such a luxury in Hong Kong! Also, they had 2 maids, so no cleaning up! To top it off, Kelly and Raul picked us up in their new convertable! What a day! We had a good time...two delicious turkeys, an array of stuffings, many pies, and...brussel sprouts. It was my first time trying brussel sprouts, and I thought they were delicious! (Maybe it was the butter...) I am not a huge fan of pecan pie, but someone had brought a fantastic Bourbon Pecan Pie, with Bourbon whipped cream. It was amazing.
After our second Thanksgiving dinner, we headed back home and out to some clubs. After being in Beijing, the nightlife in Hong Kong seems like heaven. It is warm so you don't have to bring scarves and hats and all of those nuisances, all of the action is close enough to our house that we can walk or take a very quick taxi ride, I know alot of people, everyone is friendly, and there are a TON of choices of places to go. But we were tired from our marathon dinner, so we didn't stay out long.
