Hogn Kong day 3 & 4

Had a very lazy morning before meeting Angel for coffee and a wander round town. Hong Kong has so many shopping malls it's crazy! And these malls don't just have clothes shops, they have food stands, restaurants, mini arcades, market style stalls, pretty much everything, and there's one practically every five minutes down the road! Some of them are 7 stories high, or ones with only 1 or 2 floors then have 25 floors of apartments above! It's crazy how much is stacked up and crammed into a seemingly small city.
We grabbed some 'fast food' for lunch. I put that is commas because the service for all the food here is so quick! Plus this sorta fast food isn't super unhealthy, we both got a bowl of noodles, a drink and a side and it came to maybe £15. Lots of things here are similar price to back home, but eating out is definitely a lot more reasonable! Plus, a majority of meals will come with a drink, normally ice tea or milk tea (different from English tea), then all the Chinese dim sum places supply you with endless hot tea.
I also noticed that no one jay walks here! Everyone obeys the green man traffic light, even if the road is completely clear! (A week later I learnt that it's because it's illegal and you can be fined £100, which no one thought to tell me!).
Angel then went home and I continued my stroll. Some parts of the city are very modern with shiny skyscrapers and people walking round in suits. Other parts still have skyscrapers, but are less modern looking apparent buildings with rows of restaurants with neons signs bellow. I prefer the latter as it's more interesting to look round and has more character.
I found a veggie place for food. The meal itself was very bland, but I was the only one in this tiny restaurant, so got chatting to the owner. She was very lovely, telling about her kids living in the UK and she was also impressed with my chopsticks skills and the fact I asked for chilli sauce haha.
Found a nice place for pudding (I have a new found love of Asian sweets soup desserts) before hopping on the MTR to the harbour and getting a ferry home.
The next morning, I had the day to myself. I decided to avoid the hustle of the city and stay in Peng Chau. Had a lovely long lie in before making up some lunch. Angel's mum has very kindly stocked the freezer full of veggie fodder and got me some instant noodles and snacks in, so I can make a quick lunch.
In the afternoon I grabbed a coffee and ventured around the north of the island. It's not a big place so doesn't take long to get anywhere, only did probably an hour of walking with some stops off at a beach and the 'peak' of the island. Is a very cute little place, not somewhere I'd like to live but ideal for a 2 week stay.En savoir plus
