Hong Kong - Day 4 (02/07/12)

Why is there no day 3 I hear you say? Well, it's not every day that I get the luxury of having time and internet coincide in order to be able to write a blog entry you know! Infact I'm writing this from the future... It is now day 6 in HK...

I spent my afternoon playing badminton! I was warned by my parents about how I should not proceed to go and play with these people I have met online incase I was the next victim of a scam which involved playing badminton, because you know how bad these HK people are... Well, turns out they're not as bad as my parents had speculated them to be. There were 7 people including myself, the group consisted of one young guy (me), one mid-age woman (the organiser) and five older dudes (one of which is the woman's husband). They consisted of varying levels but none were so bad that were unplayable, so I guess it wasn't so bad as I had anticipated some low level players... I was relieved. All of them spoke English, which is very interesting as I had not thought that they would be English speakers, but the one thing which surprised me most is that none of them were youngsters! Why would no young people join their crew I wonder? Or is it simply a matter of not being able to find this group or vice versa? Who knows? Anyway, I am happy I did attend the badminton session as they were decent people with some level of skill, I will be playing them more over my stay here in HK so I will see how it goes...

After badminton I thought I would go round to Sai Wan to go to my aunt's to pick up some stuff and get ready to go for dinner with some family in Sheung Wan, but as my girl was in Causeway Bay, I went round to go meet up with her instead. We walked around a bit and had a bit of food as well (I hadn't had lunch yet) and then walked over to Wan Chai. Now, the reason why I said Wan Chai was because I had to snoop around and look for what I had came to HK for in the first place... PSVITA! Now I couldn't miss this chance, so I went to 188 Orient to have a look around for prices and eventually found a decent store so I bought it... Eventually!

There isn't much to say about dinner really...

I went back to MK and then I took the mini bus again back to SK thinking I shall get the taxi over to home from the harbour... But with it being a public holiday, turns out lots and lots of people had went on mini cruises out to sea that day, so a lot of people were waiting for the taxi at the harbour... There were lots of people waiting for the bus as well, forcing me to take a more traditional way of traversing these dangerous roads... Walking. I said I had the worst trip on foot this holiday the other day, but I think this one was probably worse... By a mile. I would never do that again!
