This morning Clara and myself were both off separately, Clara with Polly and myself with Andrew.  Clara went to have a haircut with her mum and then went to pick up her ID card from Causeway Bay Immigration Center.  After breakfast I went with Andrew to visit the Hong Kong History Museum located in Kowloon.

We took a number 40 bus down the hill to Admiralty and then interchanged to the MTR to go over to Tsim Sha Tsui.  We came out of the MTR station on a side street and walked over to the History Museum which is also next to the Science Museum (similar to in the UK in London).  We got to the museum and found that it was actually a free day to enter and so we went into the History museum first.  The museum takes a history of Hong Kong right from prehistoric times up to the current day and takes a look at many galleries including prehistoric times, japanese occupation and then handover to China.

We looked around many of the galleries for about 2 hours and also watched some of the films that were shown.  It was quite interesting to see and well worth a visit if you don't know that much about the history of Hong Kong.  During the more recent galleries Andrew was able to tell me more about some of the photos shown as he had seen these events and even reported on some in his first jobs.

After we finished in the history museum we decided to take a short look around the science museum, before we had some lunch.  This turned out to be a very short look around, as the museum seemed to be aimed more at younger children and contained many hands on exhibits - most of which I'd done before at school. 

We left the science museum (which was also free) and moved on to have some lunch.  We took a walk down a few streets in Kowloon to find somewhere.  Andrew saw a Japanese pub and we decided to go inside.  I ordered a Bantau box, which is like a traditional Japanese lunch box and consists of many small portions of different foods including bean curd, sausage, a baked egg meal in a pot and some rice and miso soup.  Andrew had some smoked fish and we washed it all down with a bottle of Taru Sake.  The food was very good and the sake quite strong but it was a good meal.

After the meal we walked back to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station and then took the MTR back to Admiralty and then a taxi back home.  It had been quite a tiring day as we had been on our feet for a while.  Tonight we're off out for a last drink with Clara's friends...
