More of My Hong Kong Trip

I went to Causeway Bay Times Square to do a bit of shopping first. The clothes are not cheap at all. What kind of sales is this? The cheapest item in any of the shops is probably the ugliest piece, and a decent looking piece of top costs around 30 singapore dollars.

The more we walk, the more demoralized we are. I saw a super nice 3 quarter at Armani Exchange but the price is around 100 plus Singapore dollars. Is that cheap for Armani clothes? I have a nagging feeling that if I buy it, I will come back and discover that Singapore sales is much cheaper. But I really like that 3 quarter, it is like love at first sight. The discounts are really pathetic there.

Anyway it is just as well, because even if you want to buy, the fitting rooms queue will scare you off. It is so damn long that it makes you don't feel like queuing. After the demoralizing shopping, we proceed to take the tram to the peak for dinner. Guess what? We have to queue again! We queued for around an hour before we can finally take the tram. Plus the weather is not so friendly either. The sun is practically scorching. We could have just taken a cab up but my friend says it is traditional to take the tram to the peak and if we take cab, it will lose its meaning.

It's really quite an experience to take the tram though. The ride was so steep that I was afraid that the tram won't be able to hold up. And the steepness is real real steep. Those standing are like 45 degress tilted to the ground, so we really have to use all our feet strength to hold the ground. My feet is already aching by the time we reach the destination.

Wanted to go Lan Kwai Fong after The Peak but there was a bloody long queue for the tram ride back. By the time we come back, it's already 11plus. Still early right, but we were tired la, so went back to recharge our energy.
