This morning I woke up and ventured out, I was totally intimidated & didn't know what to expect. The food options were beyond overwhelming on the street and I ended up wussing out and opted for "American" fare of eggs and toast. Once I ate I just wandered around aimlessly until I got a early afternoon text message from Logan who ended up not having to work due to Chinese New Year. He gave me directions on where he was and I took my first trip on the Sky Train to meet up with him.

I spent the rest of the day with Logan as my guide, joined later on by his wife Sandy. I ate some amazing things including a sampler of sorbet flavors I didn't even know existed; Gooseberry, Lychee, Lemon Grass, Star Fruit, Coconut Mixed Fruit (included kernels of corn). We made it out to the opening night of "Shortcut To Menancholy Hill" a solo show of mixed media paintings by Thai artist Yuree Kensaku at Tonson Gallery and ended the day sipping cocktails at a super cute bar their friends work at called Shades of Retro. Not bad for my first 24 hours.
