Somewhat early yesterday morning my Mom and I went to a real Hong Kong tailor to have some suits custom made. It was a very quick and professional experance, we picked fabrics, a design, and I got a fitting in about 20 minutes. We then tried to see the Hong Kong Big Buddah, but the cable car was down for repairs and the line for the bus was three hours long. We decided to check out the local Jewish Community Center. The JCC here puts Livingston to shame; that have a 100 year old syngague, kosher market, kosher restaurant, and several signed Chagall prints. We took a break before getting more Cantonese food for dinner.
\nThe next day we returned to the tailor to get a final fitting for the suits. The tailor and his assistants made up a model suit to use for the fitting that they will then build my real suit from. This was also a quick process, even if you include the time talking to the guy. We then saw the rather well done Hong Kong Maritime Museum and lived the museum by taking a ferry to Kowloon Island. On accident we discovered Michelin raised Din Tai Feng as we looked for late lunch. Even at 2:00pm we had to wait a bit to get in, but the excellent Taiwanese food was well worth it, particularly for the price. Finally we took a cab up to see the peak, the highest point in Hong Kong, to see the rather impressive views. For dinner my Mom and I got sushi form a proper sushi conveyer belt. While it was tasty it could be dangerous if you don't watch what you eat.

Glad to see you and your mother are not starving. Looks like an endless Chinese banquet

Can't wait to see the suit. Did Mom also get a suit? Good Shabbat--seems appropriate after you saw the synagogue.
