This morning we went to Chinese Arts and Crafts, a store I'd briefly read about where I thought we could pick up some Chinese items for our home. We experienced sticker shock as we realized the least expensive item in the store was 3,000 USD with some items costing over $5,000,000! Our shopping excursion quickly turned into a museum, eyes only experience and we loved it. Next stop was a Vietnamese restaurant called Nha Trang. We showed up five minutes before they opened and there was already a line...a good sign! We were not disappointed. All six of the dishes we ordered were amazing, made with fresh vegetables and unique spices such as lemongrass. The kids loved it too. None of us had ever had Vietnamese food and we are hooked! Our plan for the afternoon was to hit the goldfish market, the flower market and then see the Hong Kong LDS temple. No one warned us that traffic and the crowds on Saturdays are pure insanity. We only made it to a produce market, the goldfish market then threw in the towel and headed for the airport. Walking the streets of Hong Kong with our luggage was one of the craziest things I've ever done. Hong Kong streets make New York City seem like a ghost town! We were bummed to miss the temple but happy to enter the relative calm of the airport.
