Ni Men Hao Hong Kong!

After a grueling 20 hour journey from Toronto and a stop over in Vancouver we have finally arrived in Hong Kong! It is my (Mandy's) first time in Hong Kong and have only "seen" the city via HK mini series so there is A LOT to take in.

We're living with Norm's aunt and her condo is coveniently connected to a big mall and the MTR - HK's train system. Yesterday we had breakfast at Norm's favourite eatery - Cafe De Coral. My meal was only 20HKD; divide that by 7.5 for Canadian equivalent! For lunch we had Ramen. For a bowl of ramen + side dish + soft drink it was only 53HKD! We had to ask the waitress if that's the right price because we realy couldn't believe it. Here is a picture of the combo:



My first impression of the city is that it's humid, windy, and the roads are way too confusing. However, the cheap food more than makes up for the weather.

After all this food, of course we would need to work it off. I (Norman) had the idea to go to the gym after we ate. However, jet lagged us ended up falling asleep as soon as we got back home. As a result, we woke up early to go to the gym as well as watch the NBA Finals. I'm still ambivalent as to who to cheer for. Also booked the Japan trip! Can't wait to eat some delicious delicious sushi (but Sushi in Hong Kong is quite delicious.) Eating sushi in Hong Kong also reaffirmed that cheese makes all food taste better. There was this one salmon sushi with melted cheese on top that was utterly delectable. Check it out, yo:



That about sums up what we've been up to. Today is a holiday so my family is over to play mah jong and then after dinner we're heading to Causeway Bay with Mandy Chan to sing K!
