Day 6: Bye Bye Hong Kong
The final day of the trip has come... we booked the last flight out so had the whole morning and afternoon left... Started off with dim sum since everyone says you must go have 'chou cha' in hong kong... so we did... another obscure place that was difficult to find....
Dim Sum was pretty standard actually... except for that squid tentacles thingy which I also had in Sydney but cant find in Malaysia... since when does squid tentacles qualify as dim sum? weird... Some steam variety... nothing particularly special though...
This is the only thing worth mentioning.. the 'har kow' was really succulent... had juices flowing out of it... yum yum...
Doesnt that look good?
After dim sum we went for some last minute shopping... wanted to go to this adidas warehouse is some industrial building... after searching... found this dodgy building that fits the address.. got ourselves up and guess what? A sign says "No retail'.... Jeez... that info on the net is not trustworthy whatsover... must be a dated info... so instead went to the shopping mall nearly... Found a sports shop with quite good discounts.... :) Got my Taekwondo shoes!!! yaay!! coolies huh? It's PINK!!!!I also saw this really nice Burberry wallet which I nearly bought but didnt... that is for another story.. tell ya later... but final stop was this supermarket-like place which sold some toys as well... and guess what I saw? A sushi maker!!! not the bamboo mat... a real sushi maker which you stuff rice in.. turn the dial... stuff seaweed in and turn the dial again and wualah!!! sushi!!! :D Went I find time to do it I shall show it off ya!! hehe!!

So that was all the time we had... rushed back to the apartment.. did some last minute packing... and headed to the airport... ai li insisted I snapped the photo of the roadsign.... just coz it has Mickey Ear!!! "Spot the mickey"... hehe!! that's their signage for Disneyland... cute huh?
That's all for now folks... that ends my 6 days in hong kong.... of course there was one last adventure... Elaine lost her luggage at the airport.. poor girl... she lost all her shoppings coz she was too efficient a packer and managed to stuff all her purchases into her little bag... lesson of the day... bring a carry bag to carry your new shoppings!! :) Some idiot mistakenly took hers... So she was left without a bag and worrying whether the guy will return it or not... So the whole nite and the journey back Elaine was sad... and sadder when she thought of what was in the bag... then she kept updating me what she remembers to be in the bag... aww... poor girl...Luckily half way back she received a call from them saying the guy returned the bag!! Yippee!! Elaine was all smiles again...
So to leave you with a last picture of Elaine smiling... and trying her best to pretend that the China Bag next to her wasnt hers.... haha!! Yeah... she bought that plastic bag with zipper which usually China imigrants used.... haha!! Hilarious!!!! :D

Hmm... why do dim sum look so boring.. its all the same colour huh. They should make food colourful to attract people to order off the cart.
Woah.. nice shoes.. I'd hate to get kick in the head with that. *duck*
haha!! thanks... glad u like em pink!! :D
yeah... dim sum looks same old sam old everywhere...
Squid tentacles should always be in dimsum cos I like squid.
that is not a valid reason why squid tentacles should be a dim sum... :P
It is THE MOST VALID reason evah!
