It’s a very pleasant 72 degrees today in Hong Kong. Light breeze. Kinda perfect lounging around weather. So today is a take it slow and prep to run day.<\/p>\n

The packet pickup was a queuing conundrum. The line was always moving but you just finished the queue for your race bib…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a> \u00a0\"\"\u00a0<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, it all moved…and to be honest, it was sort of Disney-ish in its line flow – we exited through the gift shop… or in this case the Marathon Carnival.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"\u00a0<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tellingly, and perhaps somewhat troublingly, the longest purchase line was for Salonpas pain relievers.<\/p>\n

Reuniting with mom, I thought today was a perfect day to hit The Peak, Hong Kong’s mountaintop view of the island. It’s grown a lot more commercial, offering a shopping mall atop the natural wonder. I suppose even here, you enjoy the beauty and the view and then exit through the gift shop.<\/p>\n
