So for the whole of last week, I was in holiday mood. Everything that the lecturers said went in the left ear and came out the right. Almost. Only managed to get myself organised last weekend. Still some stuff to sort out, like last term's papers to file and getting a big file to put them all in so that I can move on for this term.
Here are some pictures from HK. It was a shopping+eating trip, as many of those who've been there can readily testify. Here are some shots for your viewing pleasure :
Didn't know the Coca steamboat restaurant had a branch in Tokyo. They had really fancy ethnic looking decor and so were the prices! Food was oishikatta but such small portions.
Our first meal in HK. Had some noodles at the Crystal Jade restaurant in the Times Square near Causeway Bay. Within walking distance from our hostel.
That night we went walking near the Arena of Stars and watched the Symphony of Lights. Many "tongkang" passed by, and this bright crimson junk caught my eye.
The New Zealand Rugby Sevens Team were in town coincidentally when we visited the local Adidas store. Even though I've only seen rugby played on TV, I've never had much interest in this male adrenaline-charged sports. But I joined the crowd and got their signature!
Dim sum is a must in HK. We went to one of the most expensivve place to stuff ourselves for brunch at Maxim Palace. Think it's one of the largest chain of food outlets in HK as they have other variants of the Maxim brand wherever we went.
More eating throughout the trip. This time at another small outlet near the Mid Escalators area where many foreign restaurants can be seen. We had our king prawn wan tan mee here. (I'm craving for some authentic Chinese food even as I write this!)
We went up Victoria's Peak and visited Madamme Tussaud's Wax Museum. For a total fee of HKD125 which includes a tram ride, I got to hug Bae Yong Joon and get close and intimate with many other movie stars.
