Tripping on life

daylight wuh?

so Daylight Savings happened on the other side of the earth... the only reason I know this is because I'm staring at my laptop clock and it's an hour off from HK. And Bill O confirming this helped.

Today, spent the day in central. For a sunday, there are "bun muy's" everywhere! They use all of central to hang out like bums sitting on the pavement in the pedastrian overpasses or the building's open lobbies to meet, eat and relax on their one day off from caring for the chinese families that hired them. I have a lot of issues with that but the culture in HK doesn't really allow for working mom's to take care of their kids without one. Like nannies but cheaper, they also clean the house, cook dinner... HK doesn't have day care centers like the US does.

First went to Soho. Got some awesome wonton noodles - best I've ever had. I will and have been saying that often about all the food so far. Walked around soho for a bit - there are so many restaurants... It's right by lankwanfong...but I feel like they cater to the tourists more, I could be wrong though

Afterwards went up to victoria's peak by the tram at sunset and walked around the peak... the city looks so beautiful at night when it's all lit up. The sad part is the pollution that clouds the entire city. From TST you can barely make out the mountain top behind the buildings in broad daylight bc the pollution is so heavy. from Victoria's peak you could barely see beyond TST...forget about trying to see the horizon. It's no wonder ppl walk around wearing masks it's because of all the pollution, smog an smut from the cars, buses, planes, etc...and well some ppl are just dirty...

by nightfall we took one of the 'ding ding' street tram's to causeway bay for some dinner. I like causewaybay... it's alive and full of ppl -not that HK isn't full of ppl bc it is - well young ppl - Went by time square, which is a block long, and ate morewonton noodles and went to honeymoon for dessert yum!

Walked over to kumbaklay for some prelim shopping...hehe.... I'm coming back with a full suitcase for sure!
