Day 7

Had a pretty good day today :)
Woke up early to meet up with my aunt (baak leung) at pier 4 to head to Lama Island (my favorite place to go to when in HK)

Lama Island is yet another typical tourist place, just that the only transit there is via ferry and the island is very much like a country side with LOTS of green (nature, plants, fields, beaches!) First stop that we went to was this little boutique where my aunt said the owner travels around alot and buys things to sell for his store. I found a cute bracelet, where its string woven with blue-ish clear crystals.

Next we went to AH POR TOFU PUDDING. A store/stand where its really just a large roof supported by metal poles and trees from ~~nature~~. There are only 3 items on the pudding, hot tofu menu: cold tofu pudding and soya milk. LOL that's really all there is at that tofu place. But it was alright, other than the roof and uneven floors it was all outdoors (no walls).
We went to the beach afterwards, it was SO NICE. Way nicer than the ones in Vancouver. The water is actually clear and warm, and the sand will NOT cut your feet. I went knee deep into the ocean water and picked up polished beer bottle shards :)

I've decided that if I were to pick a place to retire to, I'd move to Lama Island. Its such a quiet and pretty place. There's actually alot of Caucasians living there too, most of them were British or French. The only transit there would be by feet or bike, other than the major transit from anywhere to the island which is the ferry. :) :) :) :)

Grabbed a quick lunch at an 'Italian' pub/pizzeria, got a salumi (salami?) pizza and a taga-something pasta (seafood inwhite wine sauce pasta). There was this one foreveralone guy who reminded me of Brian Puspos at one table, and at the other was a couple and a third wheeler. The couple was kinda weird, an Italian guy that didn't speak much English and an Asian (chinese?) girl that reminded me a bit of Snooki... but she didn't seem to understand her bf very much. LOL love is universal ?

Did you know you can take a ferry to cross an inlet? LOL wait, thats the seabus isn't it.... NEVERMIND! On the way home to my grandpa's we took the sea bus and had tea time at 85 C bakery. The bakery was found by this Taiwanese guy who studied japanese baking methods/styles and started his own line of bakeries. Bread was legit, and I don't usually eat bread. Though there was this really annoying reet behind me who kept hovering in line (seriously, personal bubble). I just wish Vancouver's bread could look just as appealing.

WOooHoooo! Almost done my post! For dinner we met my "gu pors" so relatives of mine that are mainly related to my grandpa. One of them is my grandpa's little sister, the other 4 were all (first?) cousins of my grandpa, so they were all super tight. They're a chatty bunch, and they really love having family dinners, especially with my grandpa. I haven't seen them for at least 8-10 years. One of them wouldn't/couldn't stop making remarks on how grown up and big I was. Yes, big. She said I was a really big girl (tall and built) and asked if I did sports. LOL sports? I swim, but that's it. HAHA seriously did not make my self esteem any better, but I'll take it as a compliment ;) Seafood dinner all around and everyone was super happy :) Realized my aunt looks alot like them (well, duh.. they're related right?)
