After months of talking, I finally decided that if I didn't do anything about it, the dinner we always wanted will pass us by. Thus began the evenings of hotel hopping and guidebook reading.
Finally on November 9, 1996, we gathered for our black tie dinner. Well... we did it... The guys met up at Colin's, the girls at Andrea's. And we met at Pierrot at the Mandarin Oriental for a splendid dinner . Was it perhaps something symbolic that Pierrot was soon thereafter, closed. For very much in the same way, the following year, 1997, saw the departure of many of us from Hong Kong. Strangely, it was the guys that left...
Well - it was, as the opening toast said, "to friends, to those of us who are still here, who are friends."
For more pictures, have a look at the invitation...
