H.K. - Day 11

Morning per usual, relaxation continued, sleep halted by a small little girl. All this and more is what happens everyday...

When it came time for Lana's nap, today we planned to go to the Japanese 10 dollar shop, (which is really is a regular 2 dollar shop except a whole lot better than in Australia) called Jusco. I bought some stuff and so did Nic.

By the time we left it was rush hour and the heat and humidity were at peak. We walked as fast as we could and by the time we got to the mall beneath our building we were ready for a cold drink.

So we stopped at Pacific Coffee, and got a 'version' of an iced chocolate, Hong Kong doesn't seem to be able to get them right, they tend to do chocolate milk with ice cubes. If you know what I mean. It's just not the same.

Anyway we sipped our ice chocolates (lucky for us Pacific Coffee crushed the ice) and watched the world go by. As we sat staring out the window we were startled when we got a call from the repairman, telling us that he would be at our house to fix the gas in 10 minutes. To which we sculled our drinks and rushed home, just in time to hear the doorbell ring.

We lazed around for the most part of the afternoon but when the clock struck 5:30pm we headed out. We were meeting Bernard's dad again for dinner today at 6:45pm, but we left early as Nicole wanted to Lana to the park in T.K.S (which is where we were going for dinner).

We played in the park for a while but I was starting to feel the first raindrops. Just to let you know, Hong Kong is in Typhoon season and the rating is T1 which is far from bad but if it rains it pours, because of this we played for only a little while longer than headed off.

As we were walking away, the rain became distinguished and increased. We didn't have time to make it to the elevators so we went up the stairs as fast as we could without it becoming dangerous. Within seconds, and this is literal, of being under the cover it began to pour and pour.

We still had a about 45 minutes or something to spare before we had to meet up for dinner. So we stopped for and iced chocolate, our second of the day. Chatted for a while then headed off to go check out a bookshop.

In the book shop we bought 2 books, but by the time we had finished looking, it was time to meet Bernard and his dad for dinner.

It was raining slightly as we walked across the road to the restaurant so we were sprinkled with the beginnings of typhoon season. Dinner was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! But before I close my blog there is one thing I want to share...maybe two.

1. While we eating/finishing off dinner the cutest thing happened. The gentlemen at the table next to ours offered Lana a lemon, which she took, gratefully and immediately stated licking. The scrunched up look on her face was priceless, but undeterred she continued licking. It was only when she began to eat the skin did she stop...priceless

2. And secondly well not really just in closing, we came home and chilled for a little while then decided that we should watch Toy story 1 in preparation for the future...
