I should have known that today was going to be a bit strange when it started off with egg shells on Eliot's shoulders. Yes, when you put a group of 22 guys on a bus, the maturity level drops down to the last time 22 guys probably spent time together on a bus, in high school.
The really great part of the day was dinner. Finally, I was able to try some really exotic foods. The restaurant, which is a seafood place, is owned by one of the entrepreneurs we visited on the first day (the small business brokerage). We were able to have conversations with some other awesome business men and learn a little too.
One of the non-seafood items on the table: chicken feet. Below, they are the white and pink dish off to the back of the picture. They may look a bit like shrimp, but trust me, they tasted nothing like shrimp. Boiled and drenched in some sort of spicy sauce, I was only able to down a little bit of one. The texture was way too strange for me. (And the fact that it was chicken feet didn't help me fight back my gag reflex.)
I thought it was interesting to find so many Christmas decorations in Hong Kong. The Chinese New Year celebration starts on January 23 or 24, so most companies are switching over to their New Years decorations.

We might try to go to Macau tonight, which is supposed to be like the Chinese version of Las Vegas. I'll let you know how that goes (hopefully). Until tomorrow!
