Mongkok, and the other parts of HK

Hello guys!! I'm blogging in my hostel right now! Haha, it's a pretty nice place to stay in, would really recommend anyone this place. Homely, and right in the pulsating heart of HK. Ladies' night market, Argyle Centre, Fa yuen street are just minutes away. So you do get to save on transport costs. I've been revisiting these places since my last stay in Hk 2 mths ago, including the peak! However, now you have to pay hk$20 to go up to the viewing terrace. And the day i went-it's the fisrt day tt they implemented this! arghhhh. And it was fogging and drizzling. Sigh.

What i did quite a lot-naturally, to eat and shop! It's quite terrible bcos
1) I think i bought quite lotta clothes and accesories (this cheap, tt cheap, and...you know what i mean. And they're having summer sale so...ahem. Yup! Anw, just this alone i burnt quite a big hole in the pocket. Shucks! ok la, some are for other pple yea!)
2) I ate a lot. A bit of everything and the result is not a big tyre, but multiples of tt. I waddle sadly to the front of the mirror and try to suck my flabs in, but to no avail. Oh well, but to care abt weight when you're holidaying is quite dumb too rit. Better to eat now and worry later. Haha! Oh my. And the salesgirl did say tt my butt is big! What i think she means is, ahem, comparing it to my relatively small face. haha.

Ytd was pretty exciting-took a bus from Mongkok to Tsim Sha Tsui, where i visited the Avenue of Stars (a lotta stars whom i've nvr heard of. Not my era). The view was lovely, it's really nice to take in the seaview and the city early in the morn=) Nx, took a ferry to Wan Chai (ferry rides are a budget for money. hk$2 gets you the ride! And you get to be part of the picturesqure scenery!) Then took a tram to Causeway bay. Ok tram rides are quite interesting, you get up from the bk and you exit from the front, where you pay just b4 you get off. It's the slowest moving vehicle, and you squash up against others, but it's definite fun experience.

Ok shall stop here, will put up the photos next time! Gonna be moving on to Shenzhen in half hrs' time!

p.s Pls remind me to scrimp and save when i'm bk. If not i'll be busted.
