Posting from HK

It's been 3 days in hk, and i've been wearing the same set of clothes out the entire time (i.e sleep in something different and been changing underwear of course lol). This is because my grandma told us to bring only 1 set of clothes each, so it would be easier getting here since we would only bring 1 bag as hand luggage, and we could just go shopping for more clothes while we're here. Anyway, my white shirt is gathering stains from everything and my jeans stink real bad, but I don't think it is very noticeable ourdoors with hk's natural aroma.

We went shopping today, but didn't end up buying anything yet (omg need a change of clothes), (except for some socks, as I REALLY needed a change of socks(!!!),) as we began with the intention of going back to buy things after looking around first as a comparison, but then ended up going for dinner and then directly home afterwards. I saw plenty of things I was interested in going back to buy later though. Including a silver DS, too :D perfect. And I intend on purchasing at least one t-shirt with some fobby engrish on it, too. Oh, and tim, I saw an ad for Gatsby on tv, but I haven't got them yet.

Ah, also, friday, we went to disneyland. It was pretty cool, but yeah, it was small (only one rollercoaster :/) Lots of cool disney merchandise though, and the parade was pretty good. Disney isn't so nostalgic for me, but it was pretty nice anyway.

Man, it's easy to get around HK though, you don't even need to take the octopus card out of your wallet to scan it, you can just scan your entire wallet and the machine will detect it, I was so impressed, + my wallet is massively thick atm but it still works. I could probably sit on the scanner with the wallet in my butt pocket and it would scan. And they got electronic signs on the MTR, which make it hell of easy to get everywhere.

ALSO, I'm not used to seeing so much chinese people everywhere speaking chinese lol. Too used to all the ABCs at home. And here I can speak english to my sister, like I would speak chinese to my parents back at home, in the way that: chances are, nobody else will understand :O

I've found something to do when we're not out now: sit in the apartment reading chinese doraemon. Man, either I can read traditional chinese pretty okay, or they use really really simple chinese in doraemon.

And that's it for now. I could complain about the smell more, but it's not all that bad I guess.
It just smells like hong kong.

PPS:Oh, and david, I got your msg. Does Ms.Lim still want it after I get back? Or is it too late? :(
