As part of my penultimate training for next week’s HK100, I was torn between deciding which of my two luxury homes to visit – Plover Cove or Sharp Peak. After much contemplation, I eventually decided on Sharp Peak.

It was a cold day. It seemed like even the cows in Pak Tam Chung were exercising to stay warm. They were playing some sort of running and catching game. As I watched them in amazement, I noticed something unusual about them. I ran a little closer to examine. Then I noticed something quite bizarre – the cows were all wearing some sort of earrings on one ear! Nope, not the iconic rock star kind of stud earring hanging from the lobe of one ear, but more like an ugly 5cm plastic tag attached firmly to the upper part of their left ears. I zoomed in to read the tag on one such “rock star” cow and observed some random number on it. I was initially a little puzzled, but a moment’s reflection made things clear: our super rich Hong Kong Government is tagging each and every cow in the Sai Kung area! Oh man! Look where my tax money is going! We pay so much money in taxes to the Government so they can attach ugly (and probably irritating) tags to all the cows in Sai Kung?? Wonder what that project cost!

Anyway, I did Mac 1 in 53 minutes and then made my way to my home on Sharp Peak. It took 1 hour and 54 mins. I took a 12 minute break on the summit to chitchat with some of my guests who showed up about the same time as I did. I told them to keep my home clean and to lock the main door on their way out. I then made it back to Pak Tam Au in 49 minutes.

I took bus number 94 back to Pak Tam Chung as I wasn’t that enthusiastic about running on that concrete road back to Pak Tam Chung.
