hong kong trip sequel

let's carry on with the hong kong stuff...

Day 2
Start the day at 10am.. too shag, so everyone trying to sleep as much as possible. morning went to those noodle/porridge restaurant again. SURPRISE! *yawn* trying to locate a place called "'Sino Shopping Center" (Shun Wo) or something lidat... asked a passer-by auntie, she said 10min walk. oh well, so we walked, and they shopped along the way.. hongkong street is filled with shops... it's seems like everywhere is shops.. scary... Walk, Shop, Walk, Shop, etc.. After a long 1 hour plus, we finally reached the place. Even if minus the shopping time, i think the walk oso take 20-30min.. i wonder how fast that auntie walks.. 10min! must be joking...

Something about Sino building.. If you are looking for anime figurines/mask rider/ultraman/game character, this is the place... Level 2 sells pirated CD/DVDs. Cool... There's even a shop selling tailor-made suit for masked rider and ultraman! but mind you, it will cost u 2k per set... The shops there open @ around 1pm.. So dont go there too early. It's located near Mong Kok Station, and juz a few street away is Women Street liao..

After some walking around that area + lunch + some more walking, went back to hotel for a short break before moving on to next destination. During the break time, i took a 40 min walk walk around the hotel area. Just realised Temple Street is juz nearby, a couples of street away onli.. 5min walk.. MY 5min walk, not THAT AUNTIE.. found a wet market street near temple street too.. and found some goodies shop.. bought some lao po bing for them and myself to try. Shiok! damn nice! Time almost up, so gotta go back hotel.

Next destination is The Peak. Took cab to cross over to hongkong bcos we had given up on MTR (we realised popo cannot walk too much anymore after Day 1).. Note, crossing islands has surcharge if you are taking cab! We took tram to go up the mountain. The tram has a long queue, kinda turned off. But hey! there's an express lane. To use this express lane, u need to purchase madam tussard + tram ticket combo. Since we are going to the wax museum, so why not.. Tram nothing exciting.

Madam Tussard Wax Museum is cool... Just kept taking photos with the wax figures, do funny poses, let pple laugh, etc... Spent around 1hr+ in it. Meal time again. Took a veri long time to find place to eat, because everywhere is expensive!!! Fast food is one of the cheapest there, but popo dun take fast food.. oh well... dine in a expensive chinese restaurant, and the bloody 1L evian mineral water cost 68HKD (ard 14SGD)!!! and we drank that, believe it or not... After meal, time to take a night scenery of hong kong island at the peak of The Peak.. haha.. Quite nice. snap snap snap. try out eileen's new camera for night shot. not bad.. Nice Canon camera.

Time to go back hotel as the time isn't early anymore, at least for popo. she seemed tired, so gotta let her rest and get ready for the next tiring day. After popo had slept, we went to walk Temple Street. Wow! SAME AS WOMEN STREET! hahaha.. nothing special, maybe got some stuff there dun have.. but generally the same.. walk walk walk, then we kinda reached the end of temple street. saw there are some more stalls on the opposite street, so we continued on. wahahaha.. got some interesting stalls there.. sex toys!!!! vibrators, dildos, etc.. dunno battery included or not.. haha.. after walking some more, we saw another stretch of pasar malam. think it's temple street part II.. haha.. but that time was alreadi almost 12, stalls all closing liao.. so we turned around and walked back... stopped by a dessert shop to have some dessert and chit chat.. gossip abt their family stuff with sanyi. interesting. eat finish, go back hotel room discussed abt next day itinerary. Sleep.

-To be continued.. again...
