Having heard that someone I know is thinking about a trip to Hong Kong, and looking for places that serve goose, led me to a bit of reminiscence in email:

It didn't occur to me and L to look for places we could have goose—we didn't quite live on roast duck over rice and roast duck noodle soup, but we did eat a lot of duck, mostly just walking into places we passed that had roast birds hanging in the window—but our planning consisted mostly of getting plane tickets and a hotel reservation, buying guidebooks, and making sure to get transit passes right away. (The man who didn't seem to know what to make of two white women walking into his otherwise empty restaurant at 4 p.m. and asking for duck seemed reassured that we weren't going to make unreasonable requests when we asked for a refill on the pitcher of hot, weak tea that he had put on the table as a matter of course.)
