The Kowloon bus tour was quite similar to the Hong Kong one, right down to the rain. The rain is totally different from Vancouver rain, here we can just have good Gortex jacket, but in Hong Kong an umbrella wouldn't even suffice.
The bus tour took us to the Hong Kong Museum. For a place geographically so small there is so much history! I really could've spent all day there. But! There was Dim Sum to eat.
It was one of the most expensive meals of the trip, but it still felt worth it. I really enjoy the family-style meals, even if splitting the bill is a little extra work. Dim Sum is also something I probably should've discovered as a picky child, it's a great opportunity to try lots of different things.
Returning to the hotel I was met with a notice regarding the fort in the hotel room. Note to self: don't build a fort in the hotel room unless you plan on taking it down yourself.
Our dinner that night (even though some of us were still full from Dim Sum) was a loud party atmosphere hosted by our donors -the Wong and Trainor behind the Centre for International Experience. The food was particularly delicious, I kept eating long after everyone had stopped. This was clearly one of those hang-out spots for people in Hong Kong, it was loud, busy and at one point some people started doing the moonwalk to Michael Jackson.
Our night finished at a former Cap students Beer Pong Bar. I really appreciate how keen people in Hong Kong (and China) are for games, usually drinking games. This bar was outfitted with table designed for Beer Pong, Dart boards, and a Ping Pong table for various games involving beers and balls. In this international city we ran into many people from North America. Even leaving in the elevator a guy was sing a song from a musical that we discovered we both saw at Granville Island theatre last summer.
