Email response from Kilvemnon:
Hi Ms O Connell and Piggley.

We heard that we have reached the semi finals.It is so exciting.You must be working really hard over there. We are working hard here aswell. We are having fun looking at the blog every day and the podcast was really cool. Everybody says hi and we miss you. Did ye enjoy the light show? Did Piggley get sunburn? Piggley are you enjoying the food? Piggley it might be a good idea if you dont read the chinese dishes we are e-mailing!!! We have lots of information for you...

Shark fins are used to make shark fin soup,a delicacy once prepared exclusively for the chinese emperors and nobility.Shark fin soup is still very popular in China today.It is considered being an honour to serve shark's fin to your guests.

The main religion in China is Buddhism. Other major religions are Taoism, Islam and Christianity.

The main ginseng health benefit is as a vital energy tonic for people with symptoms of weakness like fatigue,poor appetite,shortness of breath and low resistance to infections.Other health benefits include enhancement of memory and cognitive function.

These are Traditional chinese dishes:
Doufu is most popularfood in chinese society.Its main ingredients are bean curd,yunnan ham and black mushroom.
Steamed fish.They steam fish with some light soy sauce and some seasoning.Its main ingredients are snakehead,preserved lemon and spring onion.
Piggley DONT LOOK!!! Dim sum is the most famous food.It is a guangdong style snack which is served as a light meal.Its main ingredients are shrimps,pork and wheat for the pastry.

The light show looked really cool and Sarah showed us the Hong Kong tourism website and we saw more
pictures of the lights.This is what we found out.
This spectacular multimedia display,already named the "Worlds largest Permanent light and sound show" by Guinness World Records,has been further expanded to include 44 buildings on both sides of Victoria harbour.
The show creates an all-round vision of coloured lights,laser beams and searchlights performing a stunning unforgettable spectacle synchronised to music and narration that celebrates the energy,spirit and diversity of Hong Kong.
There are 5 main themes - Awakening, energy,heritage, partnership and the finale celebration. On festive days,special pyrotechnic displays launched from the middle if the harbour add extra sparkle to the show.
For the best view of A Symphony of Lights, take a harbour cruise or head to the waterfront promenades on either side of Victoria harbour. This takes palce nightly at 8pm.
We hope you enjoy all of this.
From everyone in Kilvemnon.


P.S. Ms. O' Connell says goodbye too!
