Hong Kong trip Day 4


It rained on us on the 4th day. :S
look at how heavy it was...

can't even see the skyline on the Central side.
We went to Harbour city in Tsim Sha Tsui to wait for the rain to get lighter b4 we crossed over to Central and Sheng Wan. At least there was City Super there to help pass the time! :)
We had lunch at the city super food court.

After quite a few days of no spicy food, we decided to try Curry-in-a-Hurry. (what a quirky name!)
This is an Indian stall in the food court selling curry sets. Well, not bad and also rather generous portions i must say! I had the fish curry set which also came with a mango lassi. Stuffed!
After lunch, with the rain gone, we visited the Western Market at Sheng Wan.

This is one of the historical buildings in Hong Kong island and houses shops and a bakery.

At the entrance, Mr D got 'assaulted' by one model tin soldiers at the door. Hahaha..
We walked along some streets near cat street and ladder streets(think i know why the name came about!) after that and my, you'll need lotsa leg muscles here as most of the walkways are made up of steep stairways as the city was built on the side of a mountain.

If I had to go to school this way, I think i might drop out after a while! imagine climing up all these stairs every morning! Urgh!

Stairs run up along every side path here! Those who stay here must have great legs muscles. They even have small stalls along the sides of these stairs! I was really worn out!
We ended the evening back at Kowloon, at the new and huge Elements Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui. Too tired to take the train, we took a cab back to Mongkok. :P
