Hong Kong then - Day Three (Part One)

Wx started the day by taking some artistic shots with his bombastic SLR:
This is the building we stayed in: Sincere House. Breakfast!! Set 1, Set 2, Set 3... let you choose! and it's DAMN cheap. Less than S$5.Very nice Bor-Lor-Bao!Mr Goh says the wanton is as big as my nose and the bao is MUCH bigger than my mouth. One of the things I wanted to try in HK is to take their mini bus, which you so often see on the roads and in the HK drama serials:

I only managed to take... a photo with it. = ) I suppose that half counts.

FIRST STOP: NGONG PING 360 degrees.
DAMN A LOT of (chinese) people queueing EARLY in the morning. And it was FREEZING - strong winds strong winds and strong winds. Even colder than at the peak. Brrrrrr....

View from the top. For the first ten minutes, we were going Oohh-ing and Ahh-ing at the views...
until the ride turned out to be painfully LONG (5.7km, ~30 min ride).... and they keep playing this song, over and over and over and over and over again, until we reach Ngong Ping Village (another tourist trap)
So we made Mr Goh pole dance in the cable car, or rather, he started dancing in the cable car


Ngong Ping Village:

Nothing much to do at the village... other than.. taking pictures of/with the Buddha and breathing the FRESH air. Tourist souvenirs, as usual, are expensive. One of the few interesting things is probably the toilet sign. And we had HOT Vitasoy, which was good.I just wanted to get out of the place AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, cos our next stop was the DISNEYLAND!
