Day 3

Okay, to be honest before I took my shower I was going to half-ass this post, because I was hella tired. But after the shower, I'm feeling way better so I guess I won't fully half-ass this post. LOL

So this post is going to come off a little bit rude on my behalf... you might or might not understand what I mean. The day started out disturbingly shitty, it all started with a ride on the MTR to meet up with my mom's friends at Dong Chong station.
 Let me just tell you two facts:
1: I will always keep a distance from middle aged single (or just downright creepy looking) men.
2. I would choose a bus ride over subway/canada line/mtr anyday, if it wasn't so time consuming.
This mtr ride has proven 2 of the points I've listed above. There was a middle aged single (probably) man wearing a dark blue climalite shirt with khaki pants and greasy hair (point 1), who would NOT stop staring at me and my mom's direction. Fine, whatever maybe he has wandering eyes... he then moved from the middle of the compartment to the side where we stood. Gross. Why. Ew. What. The. Fuck. and continued staring... REALLY? Okay, I'm probably profiling him right now. But if you were there with me, you'd get goosebumps. Luckily my stop was within 5 minutes (point 2) of that creeper's creepiness, and he caught me staring back at him and stopped (for a bit, seriously). I don't know if he's perverted or demented, but I'm going to say he's both.  THE END.

After we finally met up with my mom's friends (they all worked with each other @ HSBC like 20 years ago... all moms) we took a 45 minute bus ride to Tai O. A tourist sight seeing place where there isn't much to do but walk around and take pictures of nature and old villages. There are however, dolphins in the area 8) We took a 20 minute ferry out the docks and saw 3 pink-gray dolphins around the boat :)
The temperature was at least 35degrees, the amount of sweat my body produced was horrendous. Tai O's specialty, might I add is: Ha Gou (shrimp paste), Cha Gou (tea pudding thing) and San Sui Tofu Pudding ("mountain water"). Lunch was lousy, the dishes were small, seafood wasn't fresh and the waiter was overly antsy and anal. He just doesn't like to take orders (something that's vital to his job) and when he actually listens to us, he acted like we were reading him the dictionary and cut us off, numerous times (seriously?). We went to try the tofu pudding afterwards, which tastes like crap compared to what my mom can make. The only thing my mom and her C-lai (auntie friends) approved of were the tea pudding things, and chinese mochi's this old grandma sold in the village we walked through.
Alright! Highlight of the day (other than the dolphins :3) After a long sweaty day of walking, one of my mom's friends stayed behind when everyone left, and brought us to a mall in Kwai Fong (no, not LKF). And this mall, the clothes are the same as the ones you find in Mong Kok (shopping district) but even better and cheaper. I shopped for at least 3 hours in my Aldo sandals (and my feet died, because 1. they were aldo and 2. aldo). Seriously, if you're looking for cheap finds go to this mall, its air conditioned and theres 3 floors of shops. The clothes I found were pretty much the same shit Aritzia has, here its priced at $50-70 tax included, equivalent to CDN 10 bucks or less. What.
Grabbed a quick dinner @ SHANGHAI POPO (heheh) and went straight home. I hit my head against the bus window at least 5 times because I fell asleep, you would've thought my mom would tell me to lean on her but no... she told me that after we got off the bus ._.

TOMORROW will be a chill day.
