New Year's Eve

Dinner at Dr Paul Yuen's house down the road - family friends of the Tongs. Lots of talk, including an extended talk on why proxy voting for the Convocation might be 'bad'. Went afterwards to Mong Kok with Teresa Yuen to watch a New Year concert being given by her friend, which started as traditional chinese (drums, lions, er wu), and ended up as hip hop rapping body popping and breakdancing. pretty good. after that, went to victoria park for the street market, which was packed with thousands of people. at 3am. crazy. the 8 of us had a competition to buy chicken hats - last one to buy one had to buy drinks. we didn't actually go for drinks... but stopped off for ben and jerrys on the way home anyway.
