DAY 4: 13th May 2006 Sunny
Views from the hotel room's window
Woke up at 7am, and went to eat the hotel's breakfast buffet. The breakfast is more to chinese food, the foods are not bad, just that the varieties were limited.
After that went back to hotel to slack...watch TV...and at ard 9:45am, me, YY and XT went to a shopping centre abt 10-15 mins walk from our hotel (recommended by LL's cousin). That place sells many imitation goods, like MP3,MP4,bags,watches,clothes,shoes....ect. Do u believe that a MP4 player after bargaining cost only abt S$40??
Anyway i didn't bought any electronic gds...
The sales ppl there are really very aggressive...some will stand outside their shop and try to pull u in....and if u think their prices are too ex, and walked out of their shop, they will kind of follow u for a dist and shout out to u lower prices...I just bought a watch...actually got many stuffs to c one...but when their is too many stuffs, u dunnno what u wanna buy...
After that we went back to out hotel and prepare to check out le...And LL also came back from her cousin's hse le
Checked out at 12pm...but the Shenzhen tourguide said that the HK tourguide will fetch us at HK only at abt 3:30pm...so we have to slack at shenzhen until abt 2:30 then can take the train back to HK....so he brought us to the same shopping centre that we went earlier....
We went to eat lunch at one for the "fastfood" resturant called "da kuai huo" I ate a set meal (think is more to korean food ba...cos its a bowl of rice with chicken, and kimchi) together with a cup of iced green tea.
After eating, we went shop shop again...this time i bought a pair of shoes at abt S$10.
At abt 2:10pm we headed back to the hotel lobby...on the way saw an old lady slepping at one corner on the street, and in the middle of the overhead bridge, saw a mother and her son overturning the rubbish bin searching for food...saw her son drinking drips of water from some bottles...
The tourguide said there won't be a coach to drive us to the train stn...so we have to walk...for me its ok...cos i dun have much stuffs with me...but i saw the rest of our tourmates...some pulling luggages, some got more than 1 luggage...some carrying young children...some are old ladies...and we walked for abt 30 mins to reach the train stn....can c that some of them are not happy with the tourguide also...
After the tourguide brought us to the train stn, his job is done...we were left on our own to go back to HK, led by an auntie with her son(i think) from our tour to help us buy train tickets...and make sure all of us boarded the same train together.
So we were back to HK's hung hom stn after 45 mins...met with the HK's tourguide...and finally boarded a coach back to our hotel.
We collect back our luggage, and checked in to our rooms...this time we decided to change room mates le..haha...me and XT stayed together. The 1st thing i did when i got back to our room is to fill the bath tub with warm water....and i sat on the edge of the bath tub to let my poor legs immerge into the water...ooo...really very comfortable...I invited XT to join me also...haha...
After that the four of us gathered and we went out with the intention to eat HK's dim sam.
We took MTR to Jordan stn,...cos XT and YY heard that there is one resturant with quite tasty dim sam...but when we reached there we can't seemed to find that resturant...then we met a kind and helpful HK lady, she told us most HK resturants stopped serving dim sam by 3pm...so we may not be able to find resturants serving dim sam le...cos its almost 5pm le...she recommended us to eat wanton mee...and brought us to 1 eatary with tasty wanton mee..and also recommended us a resturant that serve quite good dim sam, and said we can go try the next day.
This kind lady declined to take a photo with us.
This is the tasty wanton mee
The wanton mee and a iced milk tea cost HK$27. I must say that the wanton really taste very very nice...cos there's lots of prawns inside 1 wanton...the prawns are whole prawns..not minced one...so really very nice.
After eating...we went walking ard...and also try to find the exact location of the dim sam resturant so that tml we dun have to spend time find that resturant...we walked and shopped along Tsim Sha Tsui, which is like Singapore's Orchard road...but more colourful with those neon signboards.
After knowing the location of the resturant, we went to ladies' street to shop again...cos that time didn't managed to shop the whold stretch of ladies' street.
I told myself that i really must buy some gifts back le...cos until now all the stuffs that I've bought are for myself...eheh...
After that we took MTR back to yau ma tei...drank some cooling drinks at "Xu Liu Shan" again before heading back to hotel. It's abt 10pm le...because me and LL thought we haven't bought enough gifts...so me and LL went to Temple Street to shop for more gifts....but we only managed to buy some braclets...anyway...better than nothing...we reached hotel at abt 11+pm...After that we must start to pack up our stuffs le...I slept at abt 1+am. (...to be continued...)
