Last weekend, after Hong Kong bounced back from the would-be ravages of the dreadful Typhoon Ramussan, Tom and I went with two of my Charlottesville coworkers to visit Ocean Park, the other large amusement park here in Hong Kong. It's very similar to Sea World, but with more rides than I remember there being at Sea World. Also more topiaries. A lot more topiaries. It was a fun day, full of lots of bizarre animals, and lots of more familiar ones too. Oh, and we got picked out of a crowd of more than a thousand people and shown on the jumbotron for the Dolphin Show. And experienced a small mob trying to get off the mountain to the lower section of the park (seriously, run to the next gate, you'll definitely get down faster that way). Eventful day.
After our park day was over, we took a taxi back to Lan Kwai Fong, a neighborhood just a few streets over from our apartments and hotel, where a craft beer festival was taking place. Lots of good drinks and food, especially from a Scottish brewery called Brew Dog.
