Parks
Hong Kong Tidbit: There are parks for kids with playgrounds, but also for the elderly as well. Here below you see a small example of such public places for them to workout.
Bars
Hong Kong Tidbit: All the restaurant/bars near Stanley Market/Plaza are all along one dead end street. All have special set course lunches and dinners that run you about $150-200 HKD, but you can also order a la cart as well. There are two roundabouts on this street where taxis wait for passengers. There are also two bus and mini bus terminals within 5 minutes of walking as well.
Party for Old People
There was a party for old people that was held in the soccer court. It was done one of the many associations that are common almost anywhere. It featured live music and a dish called "poon choi," which is sort of like a Asian style casserole.
Hong Kong Tidbit: I grabbed this description from Wall Street Journal: Pun choi, whose name translates to "basin food," is literally just that -- a large basin, traditionally made of wood, filled with up to 14 types of ingredients, assembled into a casserole. Each item is individually prepared in advance and then carefully layered in the basin, similar to the way a terrine is made with the ingredients arranged in tiers. Then, just before serving, the contents are reheated until warm for no more than 30 minutes over an open fire.
