The other day we took a trip over to Aberdeen. Just a heads up, there are some gross pictures ahead, so set aside your Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevensees, Lunch, Afternoon Tea or Supper and follow the link!
Ferry from Lamma to Aberdeen
If I were actually in Minnesota, you might be able to find me doing either or all of these things:
Sweet Monaka,
Wiki tells me that you used to be a sweet mochi wafer dessert filled with sweet azuki beans. I think I would like you that way, but I also like you the way you are. A weird, waffle-on-the-outside, chocolate covered ice cream treat. Yes, I like you the way you are.
Thanks for being so cool.*
Sincerely,
Nicole
*I am exhausted from work. This is the best I can do today.
Mmm mystery candy

Dumplings and Bok Choy for lunch
A typical greeting here is, “Have you eaten?”
As a follow up from yesterday, let’s talk food!
The weekends here at on Lamma can get pretty busy, as it’s a tourist destination for an easy day trip for people to take.
The island really comes alive on the weekend, and I’ll do my best to highlight some things I see from time to time.
Mind you, I don’t want to give any bad information, but I often get lost. I do a lot of wandering around. Even though I’m fairly certain these photos were taken in Sheung Wan, I’m not entire sure this is what is called a “Wet Market”, but I’m mostly sure.
There are a lot of things to see when you come across these markets…fruit, vegetables, meat being butchered, fish being gutted, people selling random goods. You never know what you’ll come across. My favorite was the shoelaces stand with luggage in one stand. This particular market was all in small crowded pedestrian streets, where you walk up the hill and peruse to your heart’s content.
