After an excellent western style breakfast, I took the crosswalk over Salisbury Road in Kowloon and to walk along the promenade. An Indian yogi stopped me and before I knew it, he was telling my future. Well, I knew what was coming, and at least it was entertaining, but this was my fairly expensive lesson in how to avoid street performers. But, I learned I have a lucky face and that February will be a good month for me. The promenade was delightful. It later turned into an “Avenue of the Stars” with all sorts of famous Chinese movie stars. There’s a statue of Bruce Lee too. I was blown away by the skyline of Hong Kong island. I thought I saw the tallest tower in front of me, then looked over to the right to see a huge glass needle dominating the horizon. I couldn’t believe how long the skyline was, like 10 times as long as Seattle’s. I walked streets, subways, and parks back to the hotel. Unfortunately, I only had an hour and a half, but I will be back. On the way back, another Indian approached me asking me to come look at his clothing, so I spoke to him in Spanish.
