We've been in Hong Kong for four days now and have enjoyed two hosted dinners in Kowloon, which is a short ferry ride north of the island of Hong Kong, where we are staying.
The sunset views of Hong Kong from across the harbor are wonderful.
The first dinner was traditional Cantonese. Twelve courses, either vegetarian (as Ingrid chose) or omnivore (my choice). The strangest dish on the non-vegetarian side was a whelk, "a predatory marine mollusc with a heavy pointed spiral shell, some kinds of which are edible." This one was hosted by the President of the Conference for the board members of the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate
The second dinner was on the date of our anniversary (36 wonderful years). It was hosted by the program manager of the Sloan Foundation's program on the microbiology of the built environment. There were about 25 of us seated at one long banquet table. They took our orders a la carte! We were on the 28th story in a long slender private room with nice views overlooking Kowloon.
