A Couple of Run-Ins with the Police

Well, we didn't have this run-in,
but the poor taxi driver did!

The police have a strong presence here in Hong Kong, which is comforting; the motorcycle officers look like something out of Star Wars and those are very prestigious jobs, kind of like jet pilots, according to Craig. The Wan Chai police station is next door to our Church Administration building, and one of the security guards, James, had been telling us that it would soon be closed down to be turned into a museum. His main concern was the police canteen which he declared had the best authentic Chinese food in Hong Kong; he wanted all of us missionary couples to have the opportunity to eat lunch there before it was too late. So a group of us walked over, along with several full-time staff members, to partake. We had 3 tables of about 8 to 9 people each, and each table was served 9 dishes ranging from sweet and sour pork to fish with their heads still on baked in a delicious tomato sauce. This grand meal cost us HK$50 each, a mere US$6.44, and really was unique and something we won't be able to do again. 

A feast shared with Tony, Leo, Jaymi,
the Whitmans, Elder Paul, and Kevin.
