Day 2 - Jet-lag Kicks In

naturally woke up at 5:45am and saw the "sunrise" of HK. i say "sunrise" because i only saw the cloudy skies go from dark to light, never actually saw the sun haha and correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think you ever really see the sun in HK, there's too much smog and pollution...

anxiously waiting to start my first full day in HK. looking forward to stuffing my face with some tasty desserts....mmmm nom nom nom. i decided to write down a list of all the things i wanna do during my time here:

• eat as many different desserts as humanly possible (hopefully no diabetes)
• try out as much street food as humanly possible (hopefully no food poisoning)
• play ball at vic park
• go biking/hiking somewhere nice
• try to pick up a chick using my garbage Canto
• kidnap a panda....or two

that is all for now...

first full day in HK = SUCCESS! how was it a success you ask? well let me give you a comprehensive list of every single activity we did today:

• ate, shopped, ate, shopped, ate, played arcade, ate, shopped, played arcade, ate, shopped...etc.

you get the picture, it was a tiring day of paradise haha

recap of the day (including pics):

hit up the infamous Times Square mall after lunch (we got hustled during lunch by these chinese ladies cause we were 4 tourist guys walking around with backpacks. ended up being tricked into ordering random plates of food that we did not want....) - 9 floors full of mostly high-end stores. after 2+ hours of "shopping", we had 0 purchases...fail

agnes b.!! tried their iced cafe mocha with agnes b. chocolate and it was pretty bomb, not gonna lie! a definite must try if you're not gonna try their chocolates/cakes. [this is also where wayne tried to pick up one of the workers. just thought i should point that out....]

then off to lunch at something Jade restaurant. i had the spicy meat sauce (*pause*) noodles that supposedly isn't spicy but turned out to be damn spicy....

after lunch and some more shopping, it was off to the World Trade Centre where a race-off between huang and i took place....and huang won (oh God, hurts me to even type this...haha), but this dude already KNOWS that a rematch is on the way!

after that, it was off to yet another visit to yet another Uni-Qlo store.  [here is your beloved dragonball goku that you love so much lisa, enjoy haha]

need a break? grab a mango drink!! and yes, these taste as good as they look...mmmm nom slurp nom....poll question: are those orange things on the cups mangoes or little chicks?  

 

mission Giordano: $1,325 and 23410912379832342 hours later, we were finally able to get a free duffel bag and 30% off selected items. let's never do this again....   

huang prides himself on putting up video clips on his blog since he knows mine won't have any, but here's something you definitely won't find on his blog - a pic of him studying a map trying to figure out how to get home ("just kidding" huang)

Oh, and since it's past 12, happy birthday huang. i highly doubt you'll be blogging tomorrow night (not that you ever update your shit anyways......)
