Back in Hong Kong. We get up after a horrible night on the very hard bed. The mattress is less than 3cm thick and lies on a board of wood instead of a slatted frame. The room itself is very very small so it gets hot when the Air condition is off. And it is very noisy when the Air condition is on. There’s no space for anything We avoid the disgusting shower cause it’s right above the toilet seat. We look online for a new room, unfortunately most are booked out.
We can’t stand it any longer in that room and visit some other Hostels. They are all fully booked. Others have similar tiny rooms but just for one night. We give up looking for a room at about 3pm.
We go to Sham Shui Po where I buy some materials, a LED light stripe for 120HKD, a magnetic switch and some small components and a screw driver. It took quite a long time to go from store to store and try to explain what I need. But I am happy with what I got. Sham Shi Po is very interesting I love that place. All sorts of specialized stores that sell all kinds of materials.
We meet Paul and June in the evening and have a dinner at a very local restaurant. The dishes are huge. We also have interesting dishes with ‘Squid Mouth’ (No Joke these are the Mouth of Squids!) and ‘Oyster Omelet’. After dinner we go to June’s University and walked over the huge Campus. It’s located on a mountain with a wonderful view over the river and harbor.
