First view of Nathan Street

Arden loves sight seeing from the safety of his Dad's back. He's quite the celebrity- especially in Ma On Shan, where we live, because there aren't many other white people. The other day we got on the bus and a group of teenagers sitting near us started taking photos of Arden and photos of themselves next to him- and when I took off his hat (because it was warm in the bus), there was a unanimous gasp of delight as his golden locks were revealed... and the start of a whole new round of photos... was so funny. Last night we were sitting on the train, and I noticed that all the smiling faces looking at us suddenly turned to expressions of disgust and horror... so I turned to Arden, to find him on his hands and knees- licking the train floor! This in a society where people wear masks over their mouths and the buttons on the lift in our hotel get disinfected every hour, is quite an event.
