HONG KONG TRIP 2009 - DAY 3

~~~
Started my day early. Went out and about in Kowloon. Walked all the way to Tsim Sha Tsui. I did not take any pictures. Really, they were all very much alike. That took me half a day. I went back to the hotel at 2pm and watched TV till 5pm.

After the short interlude, I caught the free bus transit service the hotel provided to the AVENUE OF THE STARS. Similar to that in Hollywood, only not as long. It was a just by the pier and it was an excellent location to take pictures of the HKG skyline. Too bad it was a little misty.

Made my way to the pier to catch the ferry ride to HKG island. (CBD). It was nice, I enjoy boat rides.

I decided to follow through with what I had though of yesterday. I wanted to visit Lan Kwai Fong at night and have a meal there. Just for boasting rights. I reached about 7.30pm that evening. It was crowded but not as crowded as it would be after 11pm. That is the norm for this watering hole.

I had my meal in one of the chinese restaurants. Again, shunning all non-HKG cuisine.
I ate a very basic HKG dish. Fried rice with chicken and salted fish + the ever staple milk tea. It was very good.

I made my way back to the pier. Took a picture of the VERY LAGE Louis Vutton boutique. The size of the boutique definately tells you how invested LVMH is in the HKG market. Those tai tais sure love their LVs. They spit at fakes and cast slightly intimidating sidelong glances at those who carry fakes. (just kidding...not!)

There is a very long direct path to the pier from the CBD. with clear signs along the way. The clock tower is the facade of the pier. There were many new developments along the pier. I guess given a few more years the HKG skyline will change again with yet another domineering sky scrapper.

At the Tsim Sha Tsui end. I took the free ride back to the hotel. From there I went to the Kowloon street markets again to experience it at night.

It was after all my last night in HKG. My fear of diarrhea was unfounded. The rule of thumb is to eat food that was pipping hot. I had prepared pills should there be any tummy upsets. But really, the truth of the matter was, it is my last night in HKG and I was going to pig out! CONSEQUENCES LATER! I had deep fried big intestines (pig) and a bowl of mixed innards (cow). I had more stuff but just could not be bothered to take any more pictures.
There was no aftermath. My stomach can take these bold cuisines. During my trip I often wondered if God made a few errors in his design of the human form

1. Why did we not have more than one stomachs.
2. Why could we not digest food faster.
   

But I did so very appreciate that HE gave us tastebuds and a sense of smell and adventure.
