Change your thoughts and you change your world: HK

It was raining heavily today. We were going back to hk in the evening and we have the whole morning and noon for shopping! We left our luggage at the reception and went on shopping.

We ate at this 炸子机 in Dong Men Ting as not much of the stalls were opened early in the morning. One of the staff was curious abt XL umbrella as it was folded into a flat rectanglar shape, he said that this was so high tech as he did not saw this type of umbrella b4. I guess he did not go shopping often.

I ordered 手打牛肉丸桂林米粉 - RMB9. Only soso.

芋泥香饼 - RMB2. It was deep fried again when u ordered making it so oily.

薯饼 - RMB4. The stall owner asked us whether the 鸡蛋仔 (photo below) was nice or nt as his customers complained to him b4. I tot he was not in good terms with the 鸡蛋仔 owner but eventually it really dont taste nice.

鸡蛋仔-RMB6

青枣-RMB2 bought from roadside stall

We spent all our RMB and XL even exchange some of her S$ to RMB. It was really raining heavily and we wonder how can we carry so many things and walked to the train station?? I have brought a luggage and a small bag to ShenZhen and yet I have bought 1 more backpack and 1 luggage to stuff all my things bought 2day. Talking abt the luggage, initially the staff want to sell me at RMB360 which I rejected. Partly bcos it's expensive and I did not have enough cash with me. I told them I only have RMB180 left. They seems very eager to sell it to me and so I tot I have gt a good deal since price was cut almost by half. But later I discovered that the lock was spoil and the wheels were uneven. I blamed myself for not checking it carefully b4 I buy.

The rain seems non-stop. We waited at the hotel until the rain was not that heavy and just wear a hat and go. We didn have cash left so no $ to take cab. There were many steps leading to the train station, thus we have to carry 1 luggage at a time. The worse case was when we gt back to Mongkok East! No escalator down! And I think 100 over steps which we need to carry more than 10 rounds to exit the station. Again, it was still raining in HK.

We went back to Ahshan Guesthouse. Since we have already paid the deposit upfront, they still reserve the room for us after 8.30pm. This was slightly bigger than the room we stayed previously. At least with this washing area.
