Bullfights
We had the opportunity to go the the bull fights again before we leave the island in May. By the end of this particular match these bulls had been beating each other up for about 30 minutes. It's hard to imagine ramming your head against someones else's head for that long. I bet they had big headaches the next day. I wouldn't call the fighting gruesome, however, you can see that they do injure each other. I love watching the trainers try to get the bulls to do what they want them to.

Fantastic Hong Kong
The Ladies and Gent had a fantastic time in Hong Kong. We did all the requisite sightseeing including the Lantau Buddha, the Victoria Harbor light show, Victoria Peak and the night markets. We did TONS of walking, had clothes made by the greatest tailor ever (Richard), ate Dim Sum, drank a bunch of Guinness, bought jewels from Johnny the Jeweler and stayed up late EVERY night. I think the group had a great time and would vote Hong Kong as a MUST SEE destination.
