I am pretty disappointed. We were going to go out to Disneyland here in Hong Kong but apparently a lot of it is under maintenance and it isn't worth going. I was really looking forward to it. This is their slow time of the year so it makes sense to do all the maintaining now. I remember this from Disneyland in LA. Going in the winter means not being able to do some things. Oh well….next time.
We didn't do too much yesterday. Jet lag and allergies are killing us. Today seems a little better and we aren't sure what we are going to do yet, its still early.
Yesterday we headed into the shopping mall beside our hotel. The deeper and further we got the more it became evident that this mall was NOT for us. You either had to be a filthy rich Chinese mainlander (and there are thousands of them) or ultra tiny and skinny. At some point we decided to get out of there. And we couldn't. Have you ever been in a casino and you can't find your way out? Thats what this was like. No matter which way we went, we couldn't see an outside window or door. We were stuck in that freaking place for over an hour. And there was no point in asking for help because, contrary to what we have been told out there in real world, nobody speaks English. At least not in a high end, endless shopping mall.
We finally got spit out right at the ferry landing. That is the start of a very very long interesting promenade that looks across to the other part of Hong Kong. Later we went back to a restaurant we were in before and had Peking duck dinner. Yummmm.
Now its time to figure out what we are doing today. Maybe go get lost in Kowloon! That could be fun! TTYL
