March 3

The sunshine was short lived. Back to fog and mist again today.

After breakfast, Monika gave me a lymphatic cleansing, which is a procedure that cleans your lymph system (duh!).   The reason she did was that I had injured my leg about a week ago and got a rash around my ankle and my right foot was swollen.  She said something was blocking my lymph system, keeping it from carrying away the toxins.  After the lymphatic cleansing I felt much better and the next day, my foot was no longer swollen and the rash was gone.  She is obviously very good at what she does.  Lucky me!!

After lunch, I headed for the Jade Market in Kowloon. Gopal drove me to the MTR in Central, where I took the MTR two stops and walked the rest of the way to the market.  As the name implies, jade is everywhere.  Here is what the market looks like from the outside:

Jade Market

Inside is a huge array of jade dealers with their wares. 

Carved jade

 

Rings and earrings

 

Bracelets galore.

After making a few choice purchases, I made my way to the MTR via Reclamation Street, where there are scores of markets and small restaurants.
 
 
 

Meat Market; preparing chicken for sale.

 

Squid

 

Geese ready for the pan.

The MTR took me to Central where I caught the #6X (Express) bus to Repulse Bay. The Express goes through a tunnel in the mountain between Hong Kong and Aberdeen, cutting the usual 25 minute trip down to about 15. 

Ciao for today….
