Hong Kong

Today our goal: STAY AWAKE!!!
First things first…CAFFINE!

We got to the local shopping area around 9:30 and nothing was open, and it wasn’t too crazy, we went to the top floor (there were 11) and worked our way down.  There were tons of electronic stores (cue Adam with the LED TV)

and lots of designer stores.  It was so cool to see all the Chinese New Year decorations still up.  We went to a place called Happy Face Noodle and it was delicious!  When we left the mall the streets were PACKED!  It was crazy! 

We took some time to stop at a park.  It must have been the place to be because we saw tons of women eating lunch on the ground. They laid out mats and plastic took off their shoes and sat and chatted.  The park had a fair going on and we had a great time.  We took lots of pictures and even tried a snack…it was not fried dough!

Then we took the subway (MTR) to Kowloon, another area of Hong Kong. 

At this point we were exhausted and didn’t want to do anything but sleep, but we kept on truckin’.  There aren’t many pictures from this part of the day…I was too tired to take out the camera.  We tried to stay out until 6:00 eat dinner then head back to the hotel…we thought 8:00 would be an appropriate bed time.  We made it until about 4:30 took the train back and went up to the hotel room (where I posted all the pictures and Adam struggled to stay awake).  We tried to get to a sushi place that we read about in our travel book but couldn’t find it; instead we ate at a Shanghinese restaurant.  It was delicious! 
We were asleep before 9:00!
