Christmas Day was spent travelling around HK, riding on trams and drinking Starbucks overlooking Victoria Harbour. It's been a long day, ending with an extended family dinner at Mei Foo's Foo Lum restaurant; the chicken was HK$1 each! Took the taxi back home and craving some sleep!
Foggy Victoria Harbour at noon, the whole place was filled with tourists of several nationalities, tugging their Canon and Nikon cameras. This is the destination thousands will flock to for the New Year's Eve fireworks display.
Took a break after strolling down the Avenue of Stars. Ordered two mocha pralines and an iced chocolate.
Enjoyed the view from the second floor! It was lovely albeit foggy; would have been better on a sunny and less windy day.
Took the 'Star Ferry' from Tsim Sha Tsui to Wan Chai which was about a 10 minute ride across the harbour. Went to the convention centre expecting an abundance of food, but look at those heads! It was extremely hot in there and you had to push through the crowd to get to the exit. After that, I really just wanted to get out of that place.
The HK$10 entrance fee, while cheap as chips, did not compensate for the boredom I can say I experienced in there.
Trekked from Wan Chai to Causeway Bay which was the biggest trek ever :( Took a lot of snaps of the decaying buildings in the area.
Owning a flashy car in HK is like asking for it to be vandalised, wrecked or stolen. But then on the upside, you can always have it featured in touristy photos!
Lunch... not mine though - snake soup. It was my first time trying this delicacy and I'll say I prefer shark fin soup more. Not like it's any more humane!
Now this was ducking yum.
On a tram to our dinner destination - Mei Foo in the New Territories. See how far we trekked?
