Thursday was a repeat of trying to wake up to do something and getting up too late. I think I woke up at 12 and got Justin up because we were going to go see the Big Buddha (that's really what it's called). By the time I had breakfast, showered, wrote a bit in this thing, then made Justin finally get his butt moving, it was 3! So it was too late for the Big Buddha, too late for Ocean Park (theme park), and we even considered Disney Land, but too late for that too. So we decided to do more shopping in Causeway Bay.
It's actually totally fine with me. I was tired too and it was kind of nice to take the morning...well our morning slowly. I don't want to do sightseeing grumpy and make Justin miserable too. Plus, there was a jacket and shoes to buy. Which is what I did and I am very excited about my purchases. Speaking of making Justin miserable, there were no men's stores in the mall we went to, and no bargaining this time, so he just walked around with me, bored out his mind I'm sure, and watched me try stuff on. Finally a friend of his met up with us and we had some street food. We had fish on a stick and fake shark's fin soup, of which the first one is really good and the second one is just good. FYI.
Besides just shopping for myself, I have been buying a bunch of presents for no one in particular (except my parents), and I think I should stop because I have enough. The sucky thing is that I didn't find the really unique stuff until today (Saturday), but I'm already out of money. So if you plan a trip to HK, talk to me, I'll plan your shopping for you. For a small fee. hehehe
Anyway that evening we went out to dinner with JC's parents to a Japanese restaurant famous for its meat on a stick (i don't want to call it shish kabob and I forget what it's actually called). This place is also private in the way that you only find out about it by word of mouth, and I was totally going to write the name in here, but I've misplaced the card. I'll write it in later. Also, it's located in the same building as a lesbian center of some sort and two gentlemen's clubs. Henry made a joke that the patrons of the restaurant must be men that went to the wrong floor. Cheeky.
This dinner was so good! It was awesome. We had really good salmon appetizer, those shish kabob thingys, both steak and chicken, then lamb, two different types of prawns, something else that I forget but was also good. I think it's my favorite meal so far. Afterwards we had dessert with some of JC's friends, where I almost had something with hasma, which is "made from the dried fallopian tubes of the Asiatic Grass Frog," according to wikipedia. I asked Justin what it is, to which he looked at his friend and they both laughed hysterically. Then he said that I should definitely order it because it's really good for you, so of course I didn't. It actually is good for you, but I think I'll just take vitamins.
After dessert the couple that we ate with left to go get the car, or so I thought, because a car with a different couple in it picked us up and whisked us off to karaoke. So confusing... Anyway I gotta go to bed to get up for a charity walk tomorrow with the rents (awww) so I'll finish up... Karaoke was fun. I think Justin would be great in a girl band. This was followed by more karaoke in a different bar where my second-hand smoke meter just gave up and died. By the way, HK people chain smoke like no other. I can see why JC can never quit.
I was so tired and I started feeling sick that day too, so I just took a cab home. I almost didn't have enough money for the cab ride though! I was literally counting the change during the ride (there are coins up to $10HK). When I realized I had an extra $10 hiding in my wallet I was so happy I over tipped the driver. Especially considering you don't tip here for cabs. Oh yeah, Justin has been my sugar daddy here because he has the best exchange rate. Good night!
