Roy, the Bartender
One last stop in Hong Kong! Soon it will be on the way to the US, but I had to come on into Hong Kong last night to have time to make my flight on Thursday. So…. Time for a hamburger! I know, it doesn’t sound like much. But would you believe its probably been three weeks since I’ve had a burger. Now how many weeks do you go without one in America? Unless you’re dieting, I bet it’s not many.So off I went last night to find a better burger. I even passed a small McDonalds that advertised its Delivery Service! China loves delivery. You can get anything delivered. Even burgers from McDonalds!
But I wanted something better. I had enjoyed the Americana Union Bar & Grill on my last visit. It’s a pub-style place I had found in the IFC Mall. So off I went to try again.
Now what occurred next has me still contemplating. Here I am in a country around on the other side of the world, and only visiting Hong Kong because I have to go through here frequently to get my visa stamped. ………
But I knew the bartender! It was Roy! Can you believe it? Yea, you’re probably saying I’m spending too much time in bars if I know the bartenders. But this is only my second time in the place, and the first time I had seen him here.
I actually knew Roy from his former employer, the Outback in Causeway Bay. I do like the steaks there. Now it does seem a little scary when you know the bartenders in a city as big as Hong Kong. But its nothing better than to sit down in a restaurant so far away from home and know someone! I’ll be back to see him.
But it’s time to go catch a plane to America!! Yahoo!!
