Back from HK - Day 3 and 4

Day 3 - We took the MTR to Admiralty and then a cab to the tram station. The queue for the tram ride was extremely long as it was a Sunday. We even saw some of the maids working in HK having picnics at the peak as it was their day off! After that we went to Causeway Bay. A lot of shopping there and finally we went to Times Square to have our lunch. We had ribs and roasted chicken set at a Tony Roma's - and I must say their salad is very nice. After that we went back to the hotel to put down the items we had bought at Causeway Bay. On our way back to the hotel, we found a mobile hawker selling roasted quail eggs, walnut, chestnut, potato etc at the road junction. I bought the quail eggs which were simply delicious! After that we took the train to Jordon and then went down to the Jade Market and Temple Street. Another round of shopping before we had the claypot rice at the famous Heng Kee. We took the MTR from Ya Ma Ti to Prince Edward. There are 3 computer terminals for free internet access on the concourse. I waited behind a lady and realized she must be a maid working in hk. I can't help but saw that she was reading hundreds of emails! There is a limit of 15 mins for each session but I saw one lady who refreshed the page and started the whole session again. I realised that it would be impossible for me to wait as these people must have a lot of free time and would be spending a lot more time on the terminal!

Day 4 - We took the MTR to Wong Tai Sin temple followed by Che Kung Temple. After that took a cab to Tsim Sha Tsui and finding nothing much to shop there, we took the MTR to Causeway Bay again. After that we had lunch in this small restaurant where I found my lost missed fish dumplings! After a long walk, my foot hurts and we went for a massage at a centre near to our hotel. The lady boss told us that Nicholas Tse was there filming a show called the "Witness" and was hanging by the signboard outside her massage centre! The tour agency sent a car instead of a bus for the airport transfer - which means we reached the airport very early as it travelled very fast! We took our tea at the Cafe Deco in the departure hall. I ordered a combo sandwich and my husband took the goose liver again!
