Hong Kong Day 4-5

Hrmm so these blogs are an easier way to remember what i did on each day..
ok so Tuesday...
yesterday we woke up really early for our Kowloon and New Territories Tour.. There were only like 8 people including us on this tour.. and the tour guide talked heaps about her life.. she was kinda annoying... lol i dont even remember what we did.. Oh yeah.. first we went to a street market.. where they sold fresh food, fruits and meat.. and by fresh i mean, u pick a chicken, by the time u come back its dead, skinned and ready to cook.. then we went to see the border of China and Hong Kong.. it was actually at this lookout thing that overlooked the border.. it was a good view.. but the rain made it kinda foggy.. Then we went to an old village.. like proper old style where people still live today.. it had a lot of history, and was pretty interesting. Then we got to go to the largest Taoist Temple in Hong Kong. That was cool.. i saw heaps of turtles swimming around... so cute! lol hrmm then after that we went to that stupid jewellry factory again.. I think all tours are sponsored by this jewellry company.. but yeah.. oh wellz.. after that we went back to our hotel and it was so hot and humid, after a nap we had a swim... then we showered and went out for dinner.. i just had maccas.. it wasnt nice.. i mean it was yukky.. it just tasted different.. the meat wasnt 100% australian beef =( awwww... hrmmm then after shopping some more at this massive place called Harbour City with heaps of designers (Jimmy Cho, Gucci, Prada, Fendi).. we went to the cinemas... the cinemas were an experience.. we saw Hancock.. good movie.. lol we got to pick our seats.. being us, we picked the back row.. wondering why no1 had picked it, we thought we were lucky.. Once entering we realised why it was empty there.. the seats arent stadium like.. they only go up a smallish hill, so peoples heads were in the way.. thats why when u buy pirated movies, u always see some1 walk past lol.. After the movie we walked home... its ok to walk home at night in HK... everything is open till 10pm officially... but every1 walks around.. the city never sleeps.. but we do..
Wednesday.. we slept in till about 11am.. then we got ready and went to have Yum Cha.. me being me, was hesitant for tasting foods.. but being on holiday i decided i might as well make the most of it.. so i tasted all sorta of things.. prawn things, dim sum things, meatball things.. some good, some not so good.. oh wellz atleast i can say i tried it.. after that we went to the hairdresser.. i basically spent 5 hours or more there. got my hair perm straightened, treatment, and cut for only 950hk... = less than $150aussie.. thats soo cheap its crazy.. then we went to pizza hut and got a pizza to share.. even the meat on pizza tastes different.. its quite upsetting.,..hrmm then we came to internet cafe. which is where i am now.. its only 9:15pm.. but im dead tired.. hrmmm its gonna be a mission trying to keep my hair dry for the next few days... i cant believe how different my hair feels.. i have a front fringe now.. and he cut sooo much off...
-some lady followed me down a street trying to get me to get a massage and pedicure
-there are tailors everywhere still tryin to get u to buy tailored suits.. do i look like i need a suit?
-its still hot and humid and wet..
hrmm yeh anywayz.. ill try to blog every few days with updates of my holiday'ing adventures.. lol
