Day 8 Today we made our way to the Golden Computer Arcade located at Sham Shui Po where we wanted to look for some obvious computer related items. It is recommended as THE place to go but we weren’t overly impressed by it. It guess it depends on what you are after but for us it was no good. Directly outside of the arcade is a street full of markets selling ridiculously cheap clothing (especially kidswear). We had a look around the markets and even saw a lady in a restaurant shop window hand amking dumplings. We then hopped back on the MTR to make our way to Tsim Sha Tsui. Directly outside of the station is Kowloon Park so we thought we would have a look around this large oasis in the City and let ... read more

Today we slept in and woke up at 2:30pm. Today was our last day in Hong Kong. We called room service and ordered rice with curry chicken each. It cost $13 ($106.80 in HKD). When we finished eating, we got ready, brushed our teeth, got dressed and then did our makeup. We decided that we would not need to go anywhere because this was our last day. We watched movies like Glee season 1,2 and 3, South Park season 1 to 15, Big Bang Theory (all of the series) and we watched Friends (all the series) all day until 5:15pm. After we finished we went to go for a shower and then we packed all of our stuff including the things that we bought. Then we went in the car and drove to the owners address. ... read more

So today we woke up at 9:30am. When we woke up we were too lazy to do anything for half an hour so we just talked to each other, we haven't even gotten out of our beds yet. Half an hour later we decided to get dressed, we got ready and put on our make-up. When we were finished we talked about where we would go. In the middle of talking the workers came in and gave us breakfast. We ate it all, it tasted nice. When we were finished eating we thought about it more; where would we go today? Then we got a brilliant idea, we would be going to the Museum of Art and then later we would go to the Happy Valley Sports Ground to play tennis for a bit. We got ... read more

Today we are heading on to our next adventure in Hong Kong, but before our flight this afternoon it was off to the Sabah Museum. What an interesting place to explore. Unfortunately you aren’t allowed to take photos inside so we have no pictures of anything in there. There was interesting information on the war, geological, and my favourite, the different tribes and the instruments, implements, clothing etc that were used. After having a good look around we headed outside to have a look at some old cars as well as very old hand carved boats/canoes, whatever they are. We then headed on to look at the different tribe houses in a little village they have set up there. The houses were amazing. They were basic, but beautifully built and some were huge! Back at the ... read more

We woke up at 6:30am the next day. 30 minutes later one of the workers came in and gave us our breakfast. It was fried eggs with a sandwich, 2 hash browns and bacon. We thanked him, and he went out. After we finished eating we both decided that we should not go anywhere for the next 2 days. So today Shania and I decided that we should go to the beauty salon. It took us 30 minutes trying to find the beauty salon that the hotel provided, we had to ask a random stranger to know the way and when he pointed it out to us, we thanked him and went the way he told us to go. We finally reached the beauty salon, they even do massages. When we went in, we told ... read more
