Aberdeen Fish Market


Looking for something to do with the kids on a hot morning before naptime....

  












The Fish Market was grimy & wet (we should have worn BOOTS!) - and felt more local-Hong-Kong than the shiny commerce side of HK. Pirate Den - turned - Fishing Village :: now Aberdeen town boasts more than 80 thousand people. The BEST seafood in all of HK is said to come through this port. Even though we missed the early-morning haul, we had plenty to watch. Flapping tails, fishy smells, and sloshing walkways. We didn't stay to eat at the famed canteena - supposedly best seafood on the island - but maybe once we are past the "nap chapter" of life. 






are these for eating???








It wouldn't be Asia without some laundry up to dry!


fancy shark fin soup?

My arms were a wee bit sore after carrying this tyke around (no boots, remember?)  As we walked down the road to find a good spot for a taxi, the girls spotted a playground. You'd think each playground was Disneyland the way these two run with glee at the sight of them. Urban living, I guess.
