30-11-2016 Bong & Hong Kong Trip Part 6

After finished walking at Kowloon Park,

we went into Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Center

to get ourselves chilled down a bit with the aircon~

Hehe!

From archaeological discovery from old time

to

testing your knowledge about archaeological finds...

the center definitely offers a lot of

interesting things to see

(than just the old aircon to cool ourselves down)

hehe~

This floor

is actually made of glass

and beneath it is trays of broken antiques~

So beautiful!

At the thematic exhibition gallery,

at that time it was exhibition of 'Listen to Hong Kong'

听‘香’讲 

One of the exhibitions

"真心话" (The truth)

Later that day,

I went down from the guesthouse

to buy this Michelin Guide

recommended street food~

It was 妈咪鸡蛋仔

(Mummy Pancake)~

At that time,

a Japanese food show

was doing filming at that shop as well~

I ordered one with chocolate flavor

and costed 20 Hong Kong dollar~

There is a screen right beside the cashier

where it displays the waiting number~

In a short while,

the Japanese hosts got their food...

and so did I!

Then,

we spent a little time at the Signal Hill Garden...

which was actually on our way to the ultimate destination~

We were so shocked

to see how many people

gathered there playing Pokemon Go~

We went up the hill,

had a bit of the view~

then 

walked down again....

Our next 'pass-by' stop

was this Subway Starry Gallery~

The artists showcased there

were familiar for me,

but not Arne~

27-11-2016 Bong & Hong Kong Trip Part 5

After checking out the 

Hong Kong Avenue of Comic Stars,

we also went around to check out other things at 

this Kowloon Park~

It was a lot of people

using the Kowloon Park swimming pool

at that time~

There is more than 1 pool there

and all the swimming pools

are actually rather big!

We wanted to try it too

but unfortunately 

we just didn't have time for it throughout the whole trip~

One special thing that amazed me very much

in Hong Kong was

their authorization of using this kind of

scaffolding~

For our first Hong Kong breakfast,

we went into this Yuen Kee Restaurant

源記燒味粉麵茶餐廳

Well,

this was a very easy way

to place the order/bill~

First of all,

we had to try the Hong Kong style

milk tea~

Arne had an american chicken chop

breakfast set (with toast, ham, baked beans)

and I ordered an instant noodle

plus pork chop~

Total

only costed us 61 Hong Kong dollar~

After breakfast,

Arne took a picture with the sign going to Hong Kong island

(with his typical playful facial expression)...

and then we went to this place

to do a thing 

that we ALWAYS do when we travel...

and that is sending

postcard!

Then we went back to Kowloon Park again

to see the park in daytime~

Lol!

With a lot of green plants,

in the middle of the city center,

the park is the perfect spot for people to go for a walk

or exercise...

or just relax~

We went from the Chinese park

to Aviary bird lake~

The birds there do pose for tourists while they are taking pictures~

Like this one,

it changed it pose from

.  "Let me out!"

to "Hey, are you taking picture of me"!

Then we saw one

that stared at us fiercely at first,

and then 

ignored us totally~

We went around the park

and ended up at another end

which is the Garden of Life~

We never seen this kind of hibiscus

that is so big as a tree

and the flowers are kinda special too~

From gardens to lakes,

we actually spent more than 2 hours there 

because the park is huge!

XOXO
