Causeway Bay, HK

I've been busy lately so that's why I haven't updated... though I can't even tell you what I've spent most of my time on...! It's a combination of things :)

Anyway, yesterday after class, I met Karen at Causeway Bay. It was a little weird because usually I'm in Hong Kong during the months when we have no school. So, to "vacation" and have to go to class at the same time felt different, but we were too busy with eating and wandering and walking around aimlessly that I forgot about how I was a student here. It’s pretty ironic that I said "wandered" because we ended up wandering for a long time that we ate dinner late. Oh, and we saw so much stuff that we wanted to buy hehe, so we're definitely going back sooner or later (?)! Hopefully :)

We had lunch at Itamae Sushi, snacks at Ireland’s Potato (small store that sells fries and popular among Hong Kong people), and had dinner at Macau “cha chaan teng,” which is kind of hard to explain what it is. My best explanation is that a “cha chaan teng” is a popular kind of restaurant in Hong Kong, which serves a large variety of Hong Kong style food (which is usually a modification of some other cuisines). For more info, please read about it on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cha_chaan_teng. Too bad we were too full, because we had planned to share a crepe from Marion Crepes (originated from Japan). Anyway, I had no intention of making this a food blog, but I think I’m always talking about food because I'm too “wai sik,” which is a Cantonese word that literally translates to “for food” and is used to describe someone who always craves for food. I don’t think there is an English word for this, but if there is, tell me! Some pictures:

Okay, I hope I didn't make you salivate too much! Just kidding, I'm probably going to miss eating American food in a few months... maybe?... I don't know, just not now hehe.
