The first day of the new year!
I’d got back at one the night before and gone to bed at two. The Egyptian man in the next bunk got up at three and made some noise, so it was four before I slept. I thought he’d checked out, but his suitcase was still there. At eight I got up for Lunar New Year Mass.
The dorms around Tsim Sha Tsui were old and not that clean. The reviews on Booking weren’t great either. It took me a long time to find a room. For example, in Thailand, Indonesia, it only takes a few minutes to choose. This room I stayed in was 150k a night, near the church, downstairs, 5 meters to the bus stop.
Take the bus number 10, to the stop I press the stop button and go out the door but the bus driver did not stop, boring:))) so got over one point, to the church late about 15-20 'something.
After the ceremony, everyone lined up to receive the gift, there are oranges with a bag of gifts, the church is full that the fathers have enough oranges to give each one, and the bag of lixi I thought there was money in it too: DDD. I used gg to translate that one, it's "keep the grace of God, double your happiness."
The picture of the news board at the end of the church, so cute.
Take the KMB 6D bus to Choi Hung Estate, this is a residential area + school, but it should be empty at Christmas, only a lot of tourists come to take pictures of the colorful building: D
If you follow gg maps to Choi Hung Estate it is not correct, it was only later that I found the name on the map Choi Hung estate Rooftop Basketball Court
There are many beautiful girls here who come to take photos 😎
While sitting in the chair, a Chinese uncle asked me how to fix my phone, and when I tried to turn on the camera, it was out, and I couldn't take a picture. I think it's a hardware problem, I need to take it to the store for a replacement, but I tried to restart it and it was ok. I'm glad I could find a place to restart the machine.
At this time of day, I should go to a restaurant, go to a convenience store and I can't buy bread, two markets nearby are closed, there is an Indonesian market where I can'ts buy anything.
I took the metro back near the hostel to look for dinner. My HSBC VIP card made each ride HK$0.10, practically free. I could get off and back on wherever I liked, and took photos of a few station signs.
While walking, I saw a ramen restaurant, I ordered it first, but I remember it because it was not like normal ramen, but it was good.
After dinner, we'll go to the rest room to get some energy for the night.
At this time the uncle of the Egyptian was in the room, invited me to a bar, there is music, drinks, dancing: DDD I like to go to the bar but I don't dare to go with people like that, I said to go to watch the Cathay International Chinese New Year Night Parade, the free ticket said to go with me, then I sent the link to the event to see the tickets sold out, that's the seat, and the standing ticket along the road is free, then I said no more, I can't stand : DDD, I go freely still more comfortable.
8:00 p.m. out on the street, walking, taking pictures.
Walk towards Victoria Harbour, see a restaurant, look good, so go in, squid noodle rice 75 HKD ~ 250k VND
I got the bus going fast but the road was forbidden so I dropped the bus at a point farther than walking, 9:00 march and 9:30 I got to see it.
Watching everyone perform, wishing each other a happy Christmas, many groups, groups of performances from many other countries, go a section then stop the performance and wish each other a New Year.
It finished just before eleven and I hurried to the Temple Street night market before it closed :D
In this night market area does not accept payment through Octopus with credit card so I can not buy anything, go to the end of the road and go back, when at the end of road there are some girls come to ask, which I dare not do anything: D
12 hours late on the tram to the hostel, walking past the convenience store under the subway station, knowing Elsa likes to eat tomatoes so I bought a package to eat: D
Take a good picture before you go to bed.
Tonight in the room full of people, there is a Western man from Romania with a man who does not know which country, snoring from 1pm to 9am 10am after getting up to leave the room 😆 I'm tired so I wear headphones and sleep a circuit until good morning.
