Today we got up at 11 am, after all, we did not get much sleep due to the nosy fan and the constant smell of food from the neighbours (who eats garlic throughout the night? Are our neighbours trying to ward off vampires?)
We go out, in all honesty, a bit scared of the big city but we soon ease into it. Hong Kong is definitely a Western-accommodating Asian metropolis. We walk around the Avenue of Stars and take the typical photo next to Bruce Lee (meanwhile I feel like crap whilst calling home, jet-lag hitting hard).
Now the adventure begins, after not eating in at least 24h, we try to find veggie food (that will be gentle to my increasingly achey tummy). We end up in a mall food court, everyone who is eating around us seem like locals who work at the mall, and in a Thai stall. I order steamed rice and sticky mango rice and Pete orders chicken.
As Kowloon park was nearby, we walk over and… absolutely love how peaceful it is. We then wander to the markets up town, first the Jade market, where I decide we should leave after being grabbed and adorned with multiple bracelets. The Temple Street market. Too many nice things there! but sadly most of them I can’t carry for 9 months.
We head back to the hostel after stocking up in some Oreos.
End of Day 2 – 13/11/2019
