At the airport
It was a chilly 20 deg C when we arrived in the morning. Everywhere, even on Lantau island, seemed shrouded in some grey smog, which really put us off. The worsening air quality especially during the winter months lessens the desirability of living in Hong Kong - we found it sufferable to breathe in the air at Causeway Bay which smelled of smoke.

We napped till nighttime, and then ventured out for dinner. Came across a cha can teng in Wan Chai selling some delectable roast meats. Their soup was a warm comfort for our stomachs in such cold weather. Was appalled that this shop sold roasted sparrows on skewers, each tiny bird no bigger than the size of our fists. While I was protesting to Slug about the atrocity of eating such small creatures, he was apathetically munching on a crispy whole pigeon.
We always love the spring onion and garlic condiment
After dinner, we strolled along the identical-looking streets in Wan Chai for some after-dinner exercise.

Retired early for the night, in preparation for some in-depth exploration and sightseeing the next day!
