16 people showed up and had a great time! Nice weather too!
Po Toi is southern-most island of Hong Kong, particularly noted for its massive, strange and fascinating rocks. We'll take the 11:30am ferry at Stanley; have lunch at Tai Wan after reaching Po Toi (and tasting its famous fish congee and seaweed soup would be a good idea). Besides visiting the Tin Hau Temple and the historical Mo's Old House巫氏廢宅, our adventurous journey would cover the Coffin Rock棺材石, Monk Rock, Buddha's Palm Cliff佛手巖and Rock Carving and the Tortoise Climbing up the Mountain 靈龜上山

We shared 4 books together and had great chat

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (buy from Amazon) by John Perkins

The Starbucks Experience: 5 Principles for Turning Ordinary Into Extraordinary (buy from Amazon) by Joseph Michelli

Fooled by Randomness Revision (Not Available in US): The Hidden Role of Chance in the Markets and Life (buy from Amazon) by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

And a book on back problem, what exercise can help.

Though Irene and I cut short of the hike, we rejoined the group at Stanley for lunch :-)
