Lost in HK, day 1
August 30, 2009
It was a good choice. Lunch was very good. We had noodles with pig knuckles, noodles with dumplings and pork, and noodles with fish ball or something. The server, when she found out we could not speak Chinese, avoided our table and we had to wait and wait and wait until a younger guy who could speak English came over and we made point-point at the menu. At least, my dream of going to Hongkong just to eat noodles came true.

After lunch, we wandered about the area and the night markets along Temple Street and Jade Street were just starting to set up. We walked and walked and walked until we chanced upon this:
They sell mostly roast meat. Beside us, there were only two persons in the shop. But when we have placed our order, suddenly, the shop was full of people. So I thought that the food must be good.
We couldn’t resist so we had an early dinner of take-out roast duck. which was very savory. Mmm.
And then it was an early night for us.

Ang sarap talaga nung duck. mataba pa. Kahit 1/2 lang yang binili namin, busog na busog kaming tatlo. At walang rice yun ng kinain namin ha?
Kami naman, walang pang-shopping kasi inubos sa pagkain. hahaha

Posted by lady pasta at September 4, 2009, 1:29 pmLady pasta, we (my travel companions and me) have an agreement: in one year, one travel outside pinas and one or two travels inside pinas. next, we will be somewhere south. excited na ako. I hope maganda ang panahon.
inggit ako sa yo. i want to go to batanes din but I still have to look up kung kelan konti ang bagyo doon. ayaw kong stranded dun
Posted by biyay at September 4, 2009, 9:16 pmreally me and may friends din, we agreed that every year kailangan may 1 or 2 places kaming mapuntahan.
I want to explore batanes kase feeling ko konti pa lang ang nag pupunta doon.
After this batanes, me and my uncle plan to go to Bicol or Sorsogon, kase nakwento ko sa kanya na okey din sa Bico and Sorsogon.
Where in south kayo punta?
Posted by Lady pasta at September 5, 2009, 6:38 pmLady, pag punta kayo ng Sorsogon, make sure na you drop by Donsol for butanding watch. December to April ata yun. Allot 2 days for it para kung hindi mo nakita sa 1st day yung butanding, meron ka pang 1 more chance. Swerte kami noon kasi nakakita agad kami ng butanding at may dolphins pa.
Yung next destination namin, abangan mo na lang. ;D
Posted by biyay at September 5, 2009, 9:29 pmah okey so mga december pa pala kami dapat punta doon. How SAD ang tagal pa hu hu hu. Nakapunta na ako ng Sorsogon pero hindi ako nakapag explore.
Pwede bang magdiving doon? ano pa yung pwede naming puntahan doon?
