I went looking for a little Buddha, but couldn't find one I liked. Mostly they were too big, as I guess you lose detail if it's too small, too hard to carve a small one. The 1st booth, the woman was very hight a pressure sales, kept grabbing my hand. I finally got away, and many were trying to get me to buy something, but not as hard as that 1st woman. I did get a purple jade necklace, and a little jade, nothing of significance. I walked around the area a little, then went back to the hotel. I tried to buy the gold necklace I looked at, but they were so busy that I left. I went to the restaurant I'd been to before, also looked at antique filagree bracelets, but I couldn't touch them financially...maybe in China proper. I have found some on Ebay as well.
It was m last day in Hong Kong, and I wanted to go up Victoria Peak. The weather wasn't really that good, kind of foggy again, but I went anyway because it would be my only change that trip. It was a little cool, and wished I had brought a jacket, but managed ok anyway. The area was so much more developed, the the trip was long, and ,of course, winding around getting partly up the Peak. I went up to the part where you'd catch the tram up to the top. It was windy and cold, so I took some pictures, and got a few good ones, with all the lights. Someone was there who could take your picture, against the natural backdrop of the skyline. It cost $100HK, which was about maybe $1.25. so O went and did it. Now I have a nice picture of me., not so easy to get. By the time I went back to the jeweler's they were closed, so I git a snack and went back fr the night.
