I hope everyone had a good weekend. For the most part my weekend was very relaxing. The main highlight of the weekend was lunch at a revolving restaurant in Hong Kong. The restaurant is on the 66th floor of one of the tallest building in HK. Every 90 minutes the platform of the restaurant rotates 360 degrees with breath taking views of the city. With the spectacular views, there was also very interesting food items on the buffet. I tried duck feet, ox tongue, shark fin soup, and another part of the ox. Surprisingly the ox tongue was not very tough and the shark fin soup had a very unique taste. The duck feet was mostly bone and skin, I'm not for sure the nutritional value in feet, but there wasn't much taste.
For the rest of the weekend, Hong Kong was fairly laid back. I watched the IU-Michigan football game, where I was almost left speechless with the outcome, but unfortunately IU still lost.
On Thursday, October 1st it will be the national holiday for the People's Republic of China. Supposedly there will be a fireworks show in the harbour of HK. An interesting fact another exchange student told was that China's military budget doubles every year. In Beijing for this year, the military is suppose to show off what they have done in the last ten years with their innovation in military equipment. With their high secrecy of the government of China, this show would be very impressive and kind of scary to see what they have done over the last 10 years without the rest of the world knowing.
