Chung Yeung Festival is when families pay their respects to their ancestors. Families go to their ancestral grave sites to sweep and clean the grave area. According to some of my co-workers it is not an exciting holiday but it is a day off of work.
For me it was a GREAT day. I met a really friendly and kind guy. We met it Tsim Sha Tsui and spent a lot of time walking around and talking. We crossed the harbour, went to Hong Kong Park, a first for me, on the island, and then walked around the hills around the park. We then went for this amazing dinner at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long (翡翠拉麵小籠包) in Harbour City. The place was packed with people. The eating space was small and crammed but the food was great and the company was even better. We then walked along the habour back towards the train at Hong Hum.
We have been talking a lot for the week and it feels good to talk to him. I am happy, he is happy and that is all that matters.
