This morning was a lazy morning spent catching up on the news back home and around the world (checking 6 newspapers online ends up taking quite a while! Lol). It was soon time for us to take grandma to the train station, where we met with Aunt and Uncle 1 who were going to be accompanying her back to Guang Zhou and we got to spend some time with Aunt 5 and baby Kyle who had brought aunt and uncle 1 to the train station.
When the train passengers were off, we made our way towards Tsim Sha Tsui and stopped along shopping centres around the area doing…you guessed it! Shopping. Lol. Some photographic opportunities popped up down along the Avenue of Stars which is HK’s version of the walk of fame, but its located along the glory of the HK harbour.
As we made our way along HK’s infamous Nathan Road, popping into shops that came to our attention, we stopped off at a restaurant that advertised its Macau cuisine. Thinking that it would be a nice change, we chose the place to eat. Whilst it was definitely a little different from the usual Cantonese cuisine, it was not all that special/exciting to write home about. The Portuguese egg tarts, which were made out to be fantastic, weren’t that impressive either.
It was back along the yellow brick road (ok, so not that funny…) and headed toward our cousin’s wife, Ivy’s store where she worked. Nat and my aunt had a look around while I was so tired that I ended up falling asleep on the chair – classy! We also went to visit family friends who are absolutely loaded – they own hotels and that in Vietnam and have a huge sewing machine business here in HK.
Tonight we were going out for dinner and went to sushi, with massive slices of salmon sashimi and other glorious seafood. Much too full and very content, we continued the sporting ways of the Hong Kongers and I finally broke – buying some clothes and cook nick knacks from a Japanese department store.
