For all those who have been anticipating my pictures from hong kong, i am terribly sorry but i am simply to lazy to upload all of them. there are like almost 200 pictures! but i did a little montage of us in HK. well, ermm its more of ME in HK, rather than the scenery. hee! feel free to visit me, i shall show you my album.



I am kinda missing the food in HK, we tried lots of food there, wanton mee, buns, curry fishballs, curry rice, roasted goose, century eggs with preserved ginger, bean curd with black sesame paste, bean curd with yam, western food, dim sum, har gao, gou bu li, and this fasinating drink which i am now craving for, called mango song (in cantonese). Its got this jello thingy, then filled with mango puree? then they top it with coconut milk. and its has lots of chunky mango in it! yeah it sounds yucky perhaps but its really good!

we walked alot during our five days trip, up and down steps in the MTR, up and down the slopes, in and out of shopping centres, but the best thing of all was the weather. it was bright and sunny, but the cold winds were of 23 degrees and most of the locals were dressed in cardigans and suits. its really a good weather to be walking around.

we went to shenzhen by train and even ventured out into the streets without any map, all you need is a good memory and remember landmarks, that way you wont get lost. I am pretty good at that! :P

what disturbed me most in shenzhen was the beggars on the streets. There were old men without both limbs, women with babies, and the worst of them all was this woman carrying her son of about 5 years old and she was eating rice out of the trash can. that was so sad!

the good thing about HK is that you can sleep late & wake up late! (very me!) the shops do not close till about 12am, and the illegal hawkers with their pushcarts only appear at 12am, the shops stay open till late and they open at 11am the next day. how cool is that for shopping!

I wanna go back there again! probably next year. there are so many things i have not tasted and so many things i have not done, I must save up now for my next trip! :)

WAOhhhh
I also want to go!!!! can i tack along!!!!!
