I am starting to get used to the time change.
Yesterday we went to the History Museum and the Science Museum in the day which was nice. Our big event happened at night though. My son is huge into Rubiks-type puzzles. He belongs to a "Twisty Puzzles" forum where they discuss and show pictures of all things puzzle related. Before we left my son had been in contact with one of the senior members of the forum who lives in Hong Kong. She was going to tell us where to shop and maybe meet up with us if she wasn't too busy. The stars aligned and we were able to meet her after she was done work. She took us to a little shop that was filled to the rim with puzzles and my son was like a kid in a candy store. He bought a bunch of stuff and the owner gave him 4 free gifts. Pretty awesome,right?
While we were there, Roxanne's phone rang and she told us that we were going to go out for supper with her and a friend. We took a taxi to a little resteraunt where we met MR. MEFFERT! THE Mr. Meffert! LOL! He is a puzzle manufacturer here in Hong Kong and one of my sons idols. We had supper with Roxanne, Mr. Meffort and 2 shop owners where they discussed new puzzles and showed off unreleased prototypes. Mr. Meffert gave my son a puzzle which Roxanne suggested that he sign. OH My Gosh, I thought my sons head was going to explode! We wouldn't have planned a more perfect evening! After supper was over, the puzzle shop owner took us to his shop where my son bought even more puzzles. I don't think that he will ever forget this night.
Jean-Marc, thank you for allowing me to be a part of this special trip. I would not trade this experience for the world !

wow! wow! wow! I'm just excited after reading this...THAT is Jean-Marc's PERFECT March break! You can not plan anything better than this. Meeting Roxanne lead you one opportunity to the next.
