Right, I received a msg for a certain lovely girl to tell her about all my transit stops (of course some of you might be interested to see picutres and know what is going on as well), so no worries, this is the purpose of the blog; sharing my experiences and pictures and keeping in contact with all you guys and gals.
Anyway, I received a warning from Jinwei a day before I arrived that HK is e
xperiencing really bad typhoon conditions, but thank God once again today I arrived to a fair weatherd Hong Kong. There was only drizzle in the evening time. Firstly, I'm amazed that HK people can actually speak really good mandarin. I'm kinda afraid that I won't be able to communicate cos I'm hopeless with cantonese. Arriving in HK, I took the airport express to Mong Kok to meet Jinwei. I must say, the airport express is seriously impressive. It even has a little indicator to tell you exactly where you are. Check out the pictures.
Mong Kok is kinda like a downtown shopping area in Hong Kong. I think is perfect for a day trip in HK. It has a 15-level mega shopping centre (can you believe it?) and right opposite is the famous road side stalls of HK. Look at some shops we passed, I'm sure some people are getting really excited about it. So me and Jinwei spent our time shopping around the roadside and the shops. He's looking for souvenirs to bring back to his 101 friends in Singapore. I just window shopped and bought a belt which I think is a bargain from the road stalls.
Not forgetting the food part, I had 臭豆腐(smelly tofu) and 鱼蛋(curried fishballs). Fantastic! We went to a HK cafe for some noodles and smoothie and just before I left, we went to a dessert shop for some of the best beancurd and sesame paste I ever tasted.
Thanks Mr Koh, we had fun in HK!
