HK: Day 5

We haven't even been here for a week and already I'm a wreck.

First of all, as much as I appreciate the subway system here, it's tiring going from place to place to place. I miss sitting in a car. Standing is a bit much, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm not built for this lifestyle. The good thing about all this traveling though, is that there's no way you can get fat. You've got to walk everywhere! No excuse for extra poundage!! Hopefully my theory pans out... We've been eating out every meal. *fingers crossed*

So what did we do today?
Had McDonalds for breakfast. For 4 people, it didn't even cost $10 CAD. It's crazy how cheap food is here! Not to mention tasty and convenient.

At 11:30 we met up with my aunt and cousin in Kowloon Tong to head to Tung Chung Bay. We took a gondola to Ngong Ping Village, where we walked around and saw the gigantic Buddha. The most tiring part was waiting in line to get back. But at least the scenery was nice!

After a quick bite to eat, we did some shopping at Citygate Outlets. So many brand names but so little money. I'm so low on funds that I passed on the most beautiful pair of Burberry sunglasses! Instead I settled for a top and shiny leggings (finally) from Mango. Now that I think about it, I overpaid. Even at outlet prices... Ah well. It was red pocket money.

2.5 hours later, we ended up taking the subway to the gates of Disney. We didn't get off... but the actual subway cars were incredible!! Plush couch-like seats, and Mickey-shaped handles and windows, and even Disney character statuettes in glass cases. The seating was so comfortable, we didn't even bother to move. I could have ridden that line for hours.

Anyways, with that minor detour out of the way, we finally made it to Festival Walk in Kowloon for the most satisfying dinner so far. Chinatown food court-style meals. I was very happy with my char siew, siew yuk faan. So simple, yet so delicious. Good eats = Good times.

To all the mothers out there (who actually read my blog), I hope you have the most happy Mother's day. You're the most under-appreciated amongst us, so it's your day to bask in your awesomeness.
And to my own Mom (who doesn't read my blog), I'm sorry I don't show it much, but I do appreciate everything you do for me. You're the best mommy anyone could have.
I love you Momma.
