Raymond did end up dropping by my hotel. He arrived at 10:00. I was already in bed but I wanted to get up to see him. We went for a walk and had some food. He has lost around 20 pounds since I last saw him, financial stress. The ONLY good thing about financial stress is the weight loss.
He seemed a little depressed too. I think business is still really slow here. No one can believe the recession has lasted this long. He thought it would be over by now. It is expected to last another season. Just what everyone needs right now.
I slept in today. Raymond and I met at 10:30. I applied for my Chinese visa and we went for Dim Sum. The visa will not be ready until Friday. We discussed the plan for the week.
After that I spent the day on my own. I didn’t feel like working today. I still have to finish my fall/holiday collection. We don’t leave for China until Friday so I have some time before that.
I will also spend some time in the fabric market this week. I only choose prints fabrics there and I don’t plan on using any prints this season. But I should go see what what fabrics are popular.
I went for a walk on the Hong Kong harbor. I took some video and pictures. You can have a first hand look at Hong Kong Smog. Looking across the harbor the pollution is pretty obvious. The other side of the harbor seems so far away. It really isn’t. I couldn’t upload the video.

This is a picture of a couple I saw having wedding pictures done. I had to take their picture. Check out this guys tails and shoes. What a sweet-pea! He’s just so clueless it’s absolutely adorable.
The fish bowl is the entrance to a message parlor I went to this after noon. I love these floors. I was in a message parlor in China once where the entire floor as a fish bowl, totally cool. The message was amazing. I guess it goes without saying that the message in Hong Kong is pretty awesome.
Raymond and I are going out for Seafood tonight. It is crab season here. I like crab. Should be a nice meal.
