Jumbo Floating Restaurant, Aberdeen, Hong Kong

Hong Kong island is not only the financial heart of Hong Kong, but it has many beaches and fishing towns on its south side. We took a hair-raising local bus over the summit to the other side of the island and explored the street markets of Stanley. At Aberdeen we saw its famous floating Sampan villages and the impressive Jumbo floating restaurants composed of three very elaborate boats linked together - all with different styles of restaurants onboard.

Unfortunately, we didn't have time to stop and enjoy its stylish rooftop bar as we had decided to splash out and see the latest Cirque du Soleil which was in town - Quidam. It was, of course, very impressive, though the costumes weren't as elaborate as usual, but it was still a great preformance with some amaaazing acrobatics. They are SO strong. Even the clowns are super strong and their acts were very well done and extremely funny. *Mush
