My brother and I have just been hanging around in Hong Kong for the last 3 or so days. Our parents were off somewhere in mainland China and we had the apartment to ourselves. It really felt as though we made Hong Kong our home as we spent time shopping, taking the subway and eating noodles everyday.
On Tuesday Uncle and Aunty 6 took us up Tai Mo Shan (literally Big Hat Mountain) and they brought their dog along. It spins in a circle when it’s taking a crap so the poop is all swirly like in cartoons. I got to drive the car home. The mountain roads were fun to speed through but once we reached the city it was plain annoying. Nobody gives way and everybody’s horn happy. People in Hong Kong always seem to be in a hurry.
On Wednesday we went to Mong Kok with N Jr and his girlfriend. We strolled through Shoe Street which only had shops that sold sneakers and Women’s Street which sold cheap souvenirs. We explored a few malls and my brother and I ended buying all sorts of stuff like; a lighter that looks like a Juicy Fruit packet, a thumb-sized harmonica, tiny slot machine, tiny foosball table and ink pens that look like syringes. The shopkeeper who sold me the lighter showed me this other lighter than he thought was pretty cool.
It zapped me.
On Thursday my brother and I went to Tsim Sha Tsui (literally Pointy Sandy Mouth) by ourselves and we got lost for a while. Well about 2 hours and it was so dull and boring since my brother doesn’t talk much. Eventually we found the subway and went to Mong Kok where my cousin meet up with us and took me to his band practise. They were very good and they even let me on the drums to jam with them.
On Friday we saw Avatar in 3D. It’s an impressive feast for the eyes but the story and acting was average. Also the parallels are undeniable... [Link]. After the movie we went to an arcade and later at dinnertime we met back up with our parents for a BBQ.
And that brings us to Saturday. I realise not much happened these last 3 days, but it’s the boring stuff that you remember best. Tonight won’t be boring though since there’ll be a big celebration for someone who isn’t even expecting it. That’s right, a surprise party.
