Day who knows what

Back to my china trips. Thanks for your input by the way guys :) I definitely will think about visiting you guys if I can during my breaks.

So, one of the Sundays in Guangzhou, we went to a new shopping centre that was 10-20 min walk away at night. It's pretty massive, I'd say it's probably double or triple the size of Westfield? Plenty of shops, but honestly, not the kind of shops you'd really want to shop unless your rich. Fun to browse though.
We were there mainly to eat dinner as a going away for a while (we were leaving guangzhou to go to Hong kong the next day), so we decided on Korean after a while based on the lines of other restaurants. The food was pretty good, although some of them put me off when I found out what they were. Eg. Ox tongue. Eww. I always have this feeling that eating ox tongue would have a ..hmm how could you describe it..sort of bouncy, rubber like? I still don't really like it, but maybe if I were to just eat it without knowing...
There were also these mini pancake things that I really liked, but have no clue what they were called. Also, near the end, we ordered some sushi, which unfortunately had some wasabi in it. I, being oblivious to this knowledge, ate it whole, which resulted in coughing and spluttering after trying to drink some tea (which smells like popcorn and sorta tastes like it too... some speciality of Korea? Didn't like it though). I think there's a pic of us laughing, and my cousin spitting out food.. you'd have to Facebook it though coz I deleted the pics off my computer.

Anyway, the main thing that I was really interested in was that there were going to be some guests. Janet, you're probably going to kill me but- apparently jiro wang (TW), jacky cheung (HK), zhen ji wai (HK) etc. were going to be there, possibly to perform. Not too sure, because we ended up leaving before any of it. I'm pretty sure they were going to be there because there was such a large crowd near the concert area. I'm so sad :( The chance to see any of asia's famous people would have been cool. Well the next bit was just as awesome though- we went on one of those motorbikes that can seat 4 people- sorta like a carriage but on a motorbike. All of us kids sat on it, and we rode back to our place. It was awesome XDDDD So thrilling. There were hardly any cars, so I think the guy was having a little fun by swerving a bit, and going on bumps, we were squealing XD I'd love to go again!! I'm pretty sure it's illegal to take those rides, but they're so much fun!
====================
Arriving in HK after a few hour trip by catching the train, things get a little more busier around there. None of it looks familiar. Yet. We headed back up to my aunt's place, to be greeted by her husband. He looked no different from what I remember. When I entered their apartment, flashbacks of the place came flooding back. Except everything looked a lot smaller. And I mean a lot. 5 steps and you could reach the 'lounge room/kitchen'. Bathroom is just as compact. You go in, and you kinda have to stick to the sink to close the door, and there you have a toilet, and about a metre and a bit bath/shower. If you've been to my house, I'd say it's about the size of our rumpus room (the pool table) but maybe even smaller.
3rd or 4th day in HK
The day I got my haircut. Stood out again because my sis and I were talking in english again. I got my hair washed by this guy who was kinda short, and he started talking to me. Asked me if I've had my hair cut here before, and I'm like maybe (although that can't be true but you know), asked how old I was, apparently he was a year older or something, asked all this stuff, but the thing is, I can barely hear him. I don't know if it's me going deaf from listening to my music all the time, or him talking in a small voice, or him washing my hair; I can barely hear anything. I hate it when they feel the need to fill in the void of silence by creating small talk; it's rather uncomfortable talking to someone while you're lying down, with your head sorta strained to keep it level against the rest of your body, and someone is washing your hair. Maybe it's just me. Oh did I mention this was my second time ever going to a hairdresser? My first time was in China too XD
Anyway I digress. So, I had my hair cut, which was short and straight. It looked pretty hideous, and I looked more like my mum than ever. So it was decided that I was going to get it permed. I don't know if it was worth the wait though- getting your hair permed takes forever -..-" Took more than an hour, had stuff squirted in my hair, it was getting in my nose, and then I was chucked under that hair steamer thingy, and my coz and my sis were taking photos of me secretly. D: I wouldn't have mind if it weren't the fact that I looked quite unflattering at that point, so naturally I tried to hide my face. Evil cousin. He's actually quite awesome, he's so easy to get along with. He's kinda short though because of all the medication he had as a kid stunted his growth, and he has these funny sideburns now XD And it always helps when he tries to speak english, although I'd prefer canto because he still had an accent.
Anyway I digress again. So when I finally had all of that finished, I was satisfied, except for my fringe. That bloody hairdresser cut my left side of my fringe wayyyy too short that you couldn't even push it to the side. I wish I'd figure it out earlier, but I realised that I could push my fringe back the other way -..-"
Dear god this is getting long... ok I'll just leave it at that today then. Sumimasen. Jya, mata ne!
