The Silver Dragon, a fancy Chinese New Year special cocktail for Margie at the Intercontinental Hotel overlooking the HK harbor. It is a gin drink with lychees floating in it. Quite tasty. She had a Singapore Sling before this one. Quite the drinker. The Intercontinental is in Kowloon the penninsula across Victoria Harbor from the Hong Kong Island. I had a straight forward but excellent martini. None of that fancy stuff for me. Lots of construction along the harbor shores and lots of dredging in the harbor. I do not think they have any environmental assessments in their new construction. They seem to decide to do something and do it ignoring environmental impact or public reaction. Historical buildings are very rare as they become victims of the new construction. They get things done but at a price.Saturday, January 28, 2012
