Follow Me Overseas: Hong Kong Edition

Wow I'm actually in Hong Kong!!!

Day One:
Landed in Hong Kong.
My friend, Jackie, picked me up at the airport.
Went to her place to drop off stuff.
Went to Stanley Park, which is like Catalina & 3rd Street Promenade.
Bought a baked sweet potato from the vending lady on the street.
Ate Thai food at Deep Ocean Park...or was it Deep Sea Park....it's Deep Something Park or Beach (food was very spicy)
Went home, tried not to sleep but fell asleep on her couch at 7pm

Day Two:
Had hot milk tea and bread with butter and condense milk...it was surprising good and simple
Ate Dim Sum an hour later....honestly I had better in Alhambra & OC
Took ferry over to Kowloon.
Shopped at Ladies Market. It's kinda like China Town. They sell the same stuff.
I bought something for Thy...but I'm not gonna tell...it's a surprise. = )
Went shopping at H & M...bought a nice scarf
Ate dinner at local eateries....too much food
Went to Victoria Peak...the view is nicer than NYC at night.
Went home, took shower and here I am trying to blog.

Sorry I don't have time to blog. I get to use the laptop while Jackie is in the shower. She's almost done now. I will try to expand on the entries when I get back. There's so much to write.

Note: I've only been here a day and a half and I've already spent $200. How did that happen? I have no idea. And no, I didn't go gambling and I haven't bought my Gucci.
