Tuesdays are my day off, when I can sit around and not attend class like a perfect delinquent. No, it’s not because I willingly ditch, it’s because I actually don’t have class on these days!
And lucky me, I get to be sick today.
I slept in and bummed around before finally getting out of bed to skype with my parents, groom my eyebrows, and brush my teeth (at 2PM! it was awkward walking to the bathroom with disheveled hair while my floormate brought her parents to her room, they must think I’m super lazy).
I dragged myself to get lunch/afternoon tea, and brought my partner in crime Lily to accompany me. We stopped by the 7-Eleven before heading back to our rooms to buy some snacks. The Asian chips they have here are amazing, with the most unique flavors. Takoyaki, salmon, and HOT dog flavored? WTF right?
Only one of those bags of chips is mine. We just wanted pictures of ourselves looking like porkers. I look more insane. I also hold in my mouth WATERMELON flavored hi-chew, which has little gummy pieces of “seeds” that come apart from the candy as you chew it. How neat is that?
We went back to my room to watch a movie, and settled on The A-Team. You guys were right when you said it was mindless but awesome action. Not only is it good for having Liam Neeson, but I love the helicopter pilot dude named Murdock. We also tried our new bags of chips, which you add seasoning to the way you do to shake-and-bakes. Her takoyaki chips were good, but the salmon ones tasted weird. Do NOT get those.
Peter and his cravings for cheap sushi brought me and Leanne out for dinner in Mong Kok, where we got lost trying to find the restaurant called Mi-ne Sushi. It was one of the cheaper restaurants listed on openrice.com (HK version of yelp.com), but was still a bit pricey for dinner. We all settled on a couple of plates of sushi, while the tables all around us had 8-9 plates piled up.
It’s okay, we’re poor students on a budget! I forget what this is, but Peter ordered it, and it looked a bit creepy crawly.
If you sit at the sushi bar, there’s a hot water dispenser that you can use to refill your own teacup! This was my favorite part of the sushi restaurant.
After dinner, we headed to JUSCO, the HK Big Lots/Pic-N-Save with uber FALSE advertising. There were signs everywhere that said “$10”, so obviously we assumed that everything was only $10, but little crappy statues that aren’t even worth $1 were on sale for $50. It turns out that everything without a price tag on it is $10, so we couldn’t buy cheap things the way we wanted to. Oh, how I miss the 99 cents store.
Here are the creepy gnomes that Peter and I told you about, Steph! They’re some kind of water gnomes that you stick into your plant soil. I’m not sure how it works, but we can get you one if you want one! No price tag= only $10! ;D
JUSCO has some random stuff, like angry-naked-chinese-baby-sitting-on-a-bear.
How about chinese-baby-bursting-out-of-peach?
If this cup were cheaper, I’m sure Peter would have gotten it.
And if these disposable underwear were cheaper and more durable, Peter probably would’ve gotten these too (since his undies were in the wash). These are for the ULTIMATE lazy, I love it.
Peter rushed us home because he had to get his laundry and CLEAN underwear out of the wash, so I bought a nail clipper and swung by Hui Lau Shan really quickly for a birds nest drink before taking off. The slime still strikes me as weird, but I eat it because it’s so cheap in Asia and “good for your skin.” Look how cute the logo for Hui Lau Shan is, it’s a dancing mango!
