HK: Day 3

Another busy day in Hong Kong. We've been going non-stop for 12 straight hours.

Jet lag is starting to diminish. I managed to sleep from 10:30 to about 6:30am. If only I can stay up past that time... I'll be kicking jet lag's ass in no time.

By 8:30, my mom, brother and sister were ready for breakfast, so we went downstairs and had noodles for breakfast again. Hahaha
After a hearty breakfast, my Mom took us to the market. Smellier than a supermarket, but the produce and meats are SO fresh. Everywhere you go, you'll see fresh veggies, fish, meat, baked goods. All cost what seem like mere pennies compared to prices back home.

What my product looks like so far...

After about an hour back at the flat, the fam and I left with my cousin to go to his studio where he taught us how to make simple leather goods. We decided that passport holders/small wallets would be our first projects. It's tougher than I'd thought. I've learned that I can't cut leather in a straight line... even with the help of a ruler.

At about 4pm Evelyn and I met up with our favorite campers from Bronte last summer -- Chess and Jenny!
We met up in Mong Kok to do some shopping. Really surprised I only picked up a few things, including pj's -- which I forgot to bring. I would forget to bring pyjamas.

Anyways, after a few hours of shopping, we needed to eat. So we opted for Korean BBQ. But it was way different than back at home! Instead of ordering food, like a buffet, you got up to get your own. In addition to the traditional meats etc, you could get dessert and drinks (like soy milk and herbal teas). Still feeling the food coma as I write...

It's almost bed time, so I'll just finish off.......... Now.
G'night!
