I met Kenneth outside the local cinema and we headed to the Admiralty MTR station before heading to MTR to head to the temple at Wong Tai Shin in Kowloon.
A compromise was made after much soul searching to meet later in the night and that Kenneth would go look for a scarf for me - but that all came undone because of his family (and a change in his plans for meeting his friends).
I haven't had a chance to have any private time with him and I wasn't that happy that he was dumping me for his friends - after all I am only here for 6 days - he is here for 5 weeks.
