After a 15-hour stay in Macau from Friday night to Saturday morning, we were back in HKG. Audrey's friend whom they won a race in Taiwan was getting married. It was at a beach, Repulse Bay. A Google map is here where it marks with letter "B". For those who went to Stanley with me back in 1996, we passed by this beach. Nothing has changed much but more new residential buildings making the narrow and congested area worse.
The wedding was at one end of the beach overlooking the sea. The weather yesterday was beautiful. 31C, blue sky with lots of breeze. We couldn't stop comparing our Maui wedding with this wedding. Ours a bit more formal with suits and all; this one, flip flops, beers, pizzas. The groom wore all white, linen pants, linen shirts and white runners. All very casual, the best man had a pair of Khaki pants and white shirt. Yes, it had a beach party feel then wedding. And the ceremony itself, wow, we thought ours were short, but this one was shorter. Music started, bride walked down the aisle, Officiant made an announcement making sure the bride and groom understood what they were doing, exchanged wedding rings, signed official paper, done! It was a total of less than 15 minutes. O yeah, before the groom organized a run from Happy Valley out to the beach. A total of 1.5 hours to 2 hours thru hills and slops and all. Weren't you guy glad I only tried organizing a round of golf rather than a run from Palms on Wailea to the wedding location? Hee hee... No one would have come anyway.
We left shortly after the wedding. Had the best salad at Life Cafe. Awesome. I had a craving for a vegetarian entree at Original Sins in Singapore. Unfortunately, it was a bit too far to get one.
Heading home - Shanghai in about 3 hours. A short station stop of about 1 1/2 weeks. Bangkok next.
