Singing competition on campus!

I signed up for a singing competition on campus and I passed the first round!  It is a version of American Idol.

The Ladies Market---fake Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, you name it they have it. It's a long street.  You finish one road and then there are about three more blocks after that one.

some food in Hong Kong

Went to a dim sum restaurant called Time Out- one of the top 101 places to eat

 pan fried eggplant 

steamed chicken feet.

The flavor is fine but there is no meat.  It is just fat and bone.  Not my thing.

After watching the introduction video of the school in a mini imax theater and watching a fashion show in 3D, we took a tour of the textiles area!

Where they keep thousands of fashion magazines for the students to look at.

 These fabrics are dyed to look like this.

 These are all made out of coated copper thread.
