After spending a couple of hours packing this afternoon we had a home cooked dinner of sweet and sour fish, beef balls with veg and soup and chicken with cashew nuts. The meal was very nice and I managed to only eat a little to not get too full! After dinner we were meeting up with a number of Clara's friends for the last time before going home. We took a taxi down to the International Finance Center (IFC2), the tallest building in Hong Kong. We were going for a drink in a bar called Red which is on the roof of the shopping center at the bottom of IFC2. We met Grace in the shopping center and walked up to the fifth floor where the bar is located. The inside area of the bar is inside the IFC2 tower and we sat outside on seats under the towers (see the pictures). After a while Clara's friend OJ and Cindy came along to join us. The bar had quite a good view but was a little strange as we sat down and ordered the waitress told me my drink was ready and I had to go get it from the bar. It turned out they were not allowed to serve alcoholic drinks in a certain area and so I had to go pick it up and bring it back to the table - yes I tough it was strange too! After a couple of drinks we took some pictures, but came home quite early as everyone was tired. We took a taxi back up from the IFC to home and went to bed quite exhausted. Tomorrow we are going to meet up with Grace for lunch, do a little shopping and then get ready for our flight...
