Interesting things I encountered overseas

The most memorable thing was being at this hotel in Macau. There was this particular floor, which I called it the "mini Geylang" where girls from mainland were prancing about the floor, looking for potential targets. They just walk round and round the floor, and if they spot any lonely guy, young or old, they will approach and ask "要不要去房间?" My mum told me to walk away from her and test water, indeed I was approached by 2 girls in no less than a minute after I was alone. Of course I declined the offer lah ... Haha!
 
2nd thing will be the typhoon. I happened to miss the last ferry to Hong Kong and I had to wait until the next day morning before I could get back to Hong Kong. Luckily the typhoon subsided, otherwise I could still be stuck in Hong Kong, which of course, I would not mind. Down there, as the advertisements claimed, it is really "买东西,吃东西 ... 买东西,吃东西" My dad likes to eat good food, so after having filled our stomachs, we will go shopping. Well, for those who dunno, there are 2 main so-called-pasar-malams, woman street & man street.. Every time I walk through, I am bound to find new things .. Of course, I was thinking about what I can get for you guys lor, haha ... Finally I saw something that might suit us ..
 
Yah Charlene, the mango pudding from 许留山 is a bit sour for my liking. Instead I will strongly recommend 炖奶..very nice, something that u never get to eat in Singapore ...
 
While I was in Hongkong, I stayed in this Stanford Hotel .. It was AWESOME .. cos it was near the 2 main pasar malams, and I always walked until the early hours before I finally cared to get some sleep. BAsically if u guys planning to go Hong Kong, the woman street is located at Mongkok, while man street is located near 油麻地 mrt station ... must visit lor ...
 
For elise who is going to thailand, I din really buy much stuff there, but i bought this set of lights for ard 300 baht to decorate my room.. quite unique, cun find in s'pore i think, u shld check it out ... can take a lot of photos there cos a lot of monuments. Clothes there are cheap but must know how to bargain, which if u dun speak a word of Thai, quite hard sometimes ... Must try the TOM YAM soup, their specialty ... and fried squids!
 
I think that' all ... the rest I hv already talked about it in my previous entries ... Hee .. Hope u enjoyed this ...
