Today was all about history, sightseeing, and at the end of the night a little bit of luck. We started the day on Wan Chai Ferry to the Waterfront of Tsim Sha Tsui along Victoria Harbour. We walked the Hong Kong version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and saw names like Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, and of course, Bruce Lee. Next was a little bit of history at the Hong Kong Museum of History. We were then treated to an incredible Indian lunch at the Kowloon Cricket Club (KCC for us "natives") where old fans of Indian cuisine and new converts enjoyed many offerings. Our gracious host Ken Wong made sure I got some "Indian hot" dishes for my taste buds! After a tour of the cricket club (by the club president no less and also a Rotary charter president), we traveled to the top of Victoria Peak. There were beautiful views of the city despite the hazy weather. Then it was off the races! We enjoyed another diverse and delicious buffet in the KCC Club box at the Happy Valley Race Course. Our host Vito Lee made sure we were well taken care of whether we won or lost. And there were winners! Darren, Karen, and Burt had lady luck on their sides, with Karen and Burt winning twice! Thank you to SiuPo, Wendy, Karen, and Fonia for being our guides today.
