The weather continues to give us warmth, the sun is trying to shine but the haze/smog situation continues.
Sid and I go for an hour long walk around the neighborhood. The flora is quite tropical. The streets are clean and quite a bit of greenery. Modes of transportation are certainly varied. Signage (speed limits - one way - red light - green light) appears to be only a suggestion, and lane changing follows no order. Drivers appear remarkably calm. (Not so much the passengers - yikes)
Today we visited several markets of magnitudes one must see to appreciate. We went to an eyeglass shop where our group placed orders for 5 pairs of glasses and a few pair of sunglasses, all well priced. The fabric markets are unbelievable - whatever your desire - any style any fabric. Amazing.
Late in the afternoon we met the boys at a Mexican restaurant where we enjoyed very very good food.
The local beer is Tiger and it also is very good. Our hosts assure us we will have plenty of opportunity for authentic Chinese food in the up coming week.

After supper Peter takes us to a barber shop where he likes to get his hair cut. Mr. Lee is still so very accommodating. At the barber shop a beer is included with the haircut experience!
And of all things Sid agrees to have his mustache removed, while getting his hair cut! We have been married 35 years and this is the first time I have seen him without his stache! Lots of fun!
