Hong Kong! day 1&2

Day1:
We got to HK around 1.30pm. My cousins and our niece and nephew went to fetch us. We dropped our stuff at the house (which is uber dope!!) and went off to see meet the others. Dropped by the mrt station and had some snacks. Eg: fried octupus, dried chewy fishballs, fried Yong Tau Foo etc Delicious! :)
Stopped by at the local 7-eleven and found a durian flavoured Hi-Chew!!! Hahahaha Not bad lah. Not very durian-y.
Had a huge-ass dinner at a huge-ass restaurant with huge-ass aquariams full of huge-ass seafood! Seriously ate till we could barely walk. Haiz thing about chinese culture...can not waste food...another thing about chinese culture.....always order more than we can eat.....mostly to make things look nice.
got a headache before the night was done. Ate panadol when I got back to the house but the pills only made it worse. Almost threw up all the good food. Note to self: Trick is not to eat so much when you know you're going for a very big dinner. No matter what...resist all temptation to much/snack 4 hours before the meal.
Slept early.

Day2: Woke up had breakfast at one of those hong kong cafes. The real hong kong cafe breads is nto as thick but it does have condense milk and butter/peanut butter. Their luncheon meat and egg sandwich is made of steamed bread. :) I like.
BTW..I saw alot of pretty dogs today, :)
We then had lunch at some Maritime clubhouse. Ate Dimsum. :)
after that we went to see Gu Ma's grave. The cemetary is huge and its a christian cemetary. The statues are quite interesting and its atop a hill so the whole tip of the hill is a cemetary. Like a terrace...
Then we went to the mountaintop. The temp was 10-15 DegC. Yet the skies were blue and the clouds were pure white with a tinge of orange sun. Very nice! (in HK accent)
Then bought myself 2 shirts! :) 1 red shirt w Mao Zhe Dong on it and another white shirt w I love HK on it.
Had dinner at a hotpot place. Beef was good, pork liver was good. Stomach was have civil war.
Now Im back at the house. dogs and niece running over the place. hahaha

K gonna shower now. Pics will be out when Im done w HK. Till then...

God Bless
