Hong Kong day 1 & 2

For my first full day in Hong Kong, Angel, her mum and I visited another island called Cheung Chau. It's a much bigger island than the one I'm staying on, and had quite a few cute shops and cafe to browse in. It's famous for it's "lucky bun" - a filled bao bun with red lettering printed on. They have an annual lucky bun festival where competitors race to the top of the tower covered in the buns!
It was really sunny so we wandered around, then grabbed some food. The next ferry back wasn't for another couple hours so me and Angel sought entertainment in a cat cafe.
We then got the ferry back to Peng Chau where Angel's dad met us and I got treated to being cooked for again! From Cheung Chau, we had picked up a selection of mochi, the one their famous for being the mango one, but were all delicious.
The next day, Angel, Sanguma and I ventured into town. Sanguma is the name given to the third sister of your dad, so each of your aunties and uncles have a different name depending on how many siblings they have and whether they're on your mum or dads side! I started calling her Sanguma even though she's not my auntie but it quickly stuck.
We went on the famous double decker trams in an area called Sheung wan and grabbed coffee. Then wandered down a famous street called 'dried seafood street'. Which you can imagine, smelled very strong, and pretty much every single shop was selling some sort of dried thing from the ocean 🤣
We grabbed the tram into central and sheltered in some delightful aircon which we explored an art gallery and some auction halls which was oddly fun, looking at things we could never afford. Although the temperature is only in the high twenties, it's so humid!
We met Janie for dinner, and was treated to some delicious veggie dim sum again. Angel headed back home with her mum whilst me & Sanguma took an evening ferry back to Peng Chau.Leggi altro
