Not doing a lot in Hong Kong!

Didn’t do much today. Mainly cause I couldn’t sleep most of the night (due to jetlag) then slept through to 10am! By then the tour we were going on to a Monastery and a big buddah had gone, so we ended up going up Nathan Road getting breakfast at MC’s, (plenty of them in HK) and looking at some shops

. By the time we got back hot and sticky we were tired again, so spent most of the afternoon resting! By 5 that night, we went in search of Lemon Chicken for tea, (my craving) and couldn’t find it anywhere. We did find some very dodgy alleyways, and restaurants with buckets of live crabs and fish and frogs outside. I screamed a little (only a little) at the frogs, then got upset and what was going to happen to them (cooked alive???? Pulled apart alive????). So by that stage it was back to MC’s for tea! At least we knew what we were eating, or so I thought. I got a marinated chicken breast burger, but when I opened it up, the meat was decidedly brown (marinade? Horse? Dog?) and tasted horrible so that went to Dave! I got a fish burger instead, they can’t muck around with that.

Then we proceeded to Temple St Night Market, which is a  huge market set up down a long street with vendors selling their wares. These wares are where you buy your fake items, could even get a IPad4 for $300 NZ. Didn’t as not real, but you could also get fake Gucci things, fake designer bags etc. Could have had a blast if had the room in the suitcases!

While we were taking these photos a Chinese girl came running over to Dave and wanted a photo with him. He was wearing his all Black shirt, (not a good colour in this heat even at night) so doesnt know if it was his good looks or his shirt she wanted! Decided HongKong is not really for me, too many people in a small place and huge gaps between rich and poor. Probably not a rip-off in fake goods as you think, but still too hot and humid to cope with for a period of time.
