Lost Horizons

There is no smoke without fire

When Carnegies decided to become a non smoking bar, it was crossed off my list of establishments to frequent; but yesterday, I found out that they are now a qualified smoking bar. I was at Wanchai Computer mall, pricing up a Nintendo Wii, for a friend in Thailand. I couldn't find any in stock, but I did find a shop that had a reasonable selection of Canon lenses at better prices than Stanley Street, so I bought myself a new wide angled zoom lens.
After that I wanted a pint and some grub, so I headed to Carnegies (as the grub was more important than the cigarette). I had only planned to have some food and move on somewhere else, but when I got there I found ashtrays on the bar, so that was great. Sat at the bar and ordered a pint. Quite by chance, my arrival coincided with the end of happy hour, so I ordered an extra pint, and of course they brought out the food.
I ended up chatting for a couple of hours with an antipodean lady, who was in Hong Kong for a trade fair. It was a good way to spend a couple of hours, and I staggered home to a peaceful slumber.
