Hong Kong Trip - Day 19

It was the last day, I don't quite remember what we did. In the morning, we had dimsum at Pioneer again (that place is indeed good) and we ended up walking around shopping for last minute things in the afternoon. Me, especially, found some GREAT places to buy cheaper than major store (e.g Broadway) priced electronics but I was already low on money at the time, so I was only able to bring that knowledge with me for when I return the next time. I was able to find myself a better, smaller gaming headset (a la Creative) for my (rather rare) online gaming needs.

When dinner approached, we were invited to eat at a Malaysian restaurant by my Auntie Maime and Uncle Jackie. We didn't know the way, so we gave directions to the taxi driver to send us to the right direction. The restaurant was part of a giant driving range which was awesomely cool and had outside patio seating. Hey it was HK, so of course the weather was perfect for outdoor dining. They ordered us nothing but good food (I expect nothing less from our Dining Expert Family). They had this secret "tab" with the head waiter, so we weren't able to pay for the dinner. After food, we headed back to our hotel to grab our luggages and got the ride from Dickson's friend. As his kind of "service" was illegal, he dropped us off at a safe place in the parking lot and we walked the rest of the way. When we got there, my brother had already arrived, waiting for us. Auntie Maime walked with us up to the departures entrance before we said our goodbyes. I used up the last of my phone card money on sending text messages to my friends as we sat around for our flight to be announced.

On the fun 14 hour flight back, I watched Jay Chou in Kung Fu Dunk. Jay Chou is so adorable! I also watched the Golden Compass and some random shows... and then tried to sleep a bit. When I got back, I forced myself to stay awake the whole day to fix up our schedule. The whole trip felt somewhat surreal after coming back to Vancouver. But bringing back so much stuff is evidence enough that we WERE indeed there...

Now that the new changes to luggage limitations and stricter weight rules, it's going to be more complicated to travel.

HK is a great place to live, if you have the money to sustain yourself and without a crazy job that overworks you until you probably suicide. Good luck trying to find that kind of lifestyle though... Now I just gotta save up the money for the next trip back!
