Football and Feasting

Coming to the end of our stay in Hong Kong, as i'm typing, one of the biggest thunder storms I have probably ever seen is well established outside, putting a dent in our plans to go to the horse races today, and probably the theme park tomorrow, which is a bit of a downer!
On thursday we went to the Hong Kong Stadium to watch Man City get beaten by an invitation team, it was 3-1 in the end, and after that, South China FC played Juventus and won 2-1. Not through lack of trying on the Italians part as they were going all out by the end, nearly getting a couple sent off. The stadium wasn't exactly full, I think I heard it has about 40,000 capacity and it was around about half way there, so there was plenty of chanting and the like.
Yesterdat we went to a feast in a small village where some of Yo's family live. There were about 9 tables dotted around outside the village hall each with a massive bowl, more like a vat, of cooked meats which everyone just piled into and helped them selves. I'd like to think I was quite adventurous when trying out the local cuisine, but whole chicken heads (beaks, eyeballs and the little flappy bits on top of their heads still intact) is where I tend to draw the line.
We're leaving Hong Kong on tuesday to get on an 8 hour flight to Sydney, where we stay for 24 hours, then fly to Auckland to do the same for a whole day, then eventually after two days of kicking our heels we're going to be heading to South America where the majority of our trip will be taking place.
