Hong Kong Spring Celebration Dinner 12 February in the Westin Philippine Plaza, Manila.
I was cordially invited by the Hong Kong Tourism Board and Cathay Pacific Airways Limited to the "Historic Hong Kong" Year of the Goat Spring Celebration Dinner. It was a thank you dinner for all the people who helped promote the Green Hong Kong Tour and Cathay Pacific, and my contribution to this project was the Hong Kong episode that Rovilson and I shot for GamePlan last April 2002, so this dinner was a welcome treat for me and my hard work.
The dinner was really pretty. The motiff was Chinese red and gold and everyone was asked to come in a Chinese costume. I didn't have one, though, so I figured my grad dress with bamboo and a shawl (I hate shawls!) would have to do. The opening act was a dragon dance with a beautiful fireworks display. I wasn't able to catch the dragon dance, but I did have a great time eating dinner and listening to the Apo Hiking Society, even if I was dying in my Mom's dressy sandals.
