Hong Kong: Day II

Itinerary for the Day:

1.Breakfast
2.Hostel check-In--Finally 
3.Museum of Art
4. Shopping around Tsim Sha Tsui 
5.Symphony Of Lights

What really happened: hahaha

Shayda and I got ready and had breakfast while Alix went on her morning run. She does this every morning even when on vacation, its her way of exploring on the area. Its really is  commendable, i wish i was more disciplined about running like i was when i ran Track. The old days man..

Trying every country's McDonalds is kinda my thing. It may seem stupid and i am not a big Fast food eater-Its All Bout the Rice- but i do indulge occasionally and for the curiousity of seeing how McDonalds caters to its global customers taste. Hong kong has to be my favourite thus far because of the breakfast. 

The last time I was in Hong Kong i discovered The Grilled Chicken Pasta Soup, on the Breakfast Menu, and i definitely had to have it again. Look How yummy it is:


It was Delicious!

Ready to Head out!

First Stop: Museum of Art......

But.....

It's Closed on Thursdays.... :(



Its okay because it also happens to be raining really badly at the time so you know what....

Tea & Dim Sum:
we notice this Dim Sum Resturant nearby and we're feeling peckish and Alix and Shayda want to try Dim Sum: 
                                                                      "pinkies out guys"

yummy!
After drinking so much Green Tea, and trying almost everything on the menu, we leave.

Being that we still have not checked into our hostel since we missed check in the night we arrived, we head over to our hostel!

So this is my first time staying at a Hostel and I am pretty impressed, good location, cool owner, nice people, and really nice/clean hostel! We stayed at Urban Pack, in Tsim Sha Tsui. It is owned by a guy named Albert who travels year round and previously lived in Tokyo and decided to open an hostel with his friend!









My view, or lack of but, really clean and nicely decorated.After Check-In and we did get reimbursed for the one night we did not stay, which was nice, we head out to explore the area nearby.


we did a little shopping: I saw these cool boots, decided to shop around more and come back if i want them......
 


Then For dinner:

Pork rice

Symphony of Lights!!!!

A common tourist attraction, but i still think its pretty cool, is the Symphony of Lights. I leave it to wikipedia to explain haha: " synchronised building exterior decorative light and laser multimedia display, featuring 44 buildings on both sides of the Victoria Harbour of Hong Kong accompanied by music." There you have it folks.....

my camera is not so good so i apologize in advance:








Gotta Love selfliess!!


It was really cool, so many lights! After we walked around some more and decided to go for snack or something.

Big Ben Spotted in Hong Kong haha


My throne in Hong Kong! 
Although we did not find my chocolate cake in the mall i did get to take a picture with this cool chair haha. Then we had this:


THE BIGGEST COCKTAIL EVAAAA::


       

 





The worst part is we drank it solo fast!!! Cosmo Mojito, Yummy!! I was a little perplexed at first but we figured it out haha.

What a day, and a great ending too!

:)
