day 8 - trying to avoid the crowd

the food in hong kong is hands down much better than chinatown in chicago. the quality is better, the serving is generous, and the pricing is very fair. the food itself kind of almost makes up for all the other negativeness in hong kong (overcrowded, air pollution, unsanitary lifestyle). i guarantee 90% of the restaurants in hk would be closed down if the hk's health inspection were up to usa's standards. we spent the rest of our night at lan kwai fong, a street located in central that is solely dedicated to nightlife partying. lan kwai fong is a small uphill side street that features many of the local's favorite clubs and pubs that is suitable for all age and race. solicitors rush up and down the streets selling venue tickets to foreigners and locals. laughter, loud music, chattering fills the streets. froogled ladies n gents can be seen lining up at the 7-11 around to corner to purchase liquor.

after 7 days in tokyo we finally decide to do our laundry in hk













the pimp and the student posing at the best dimsum house in hk













fried tofu, shrimp dumpling, baby dragon dumpling, and many more mouth watering dishes













shark fin soup














steamed ribs














pork dumplings aka shumai














super sized lobsters waiting to be the next main entree













this japanese restaurant features coy fishes that swim underneath your feet while you enjoy the over priced sushi.












legitimate massage parlor only costs $15 an hour in hong kong













bright neon advertisements fill the busy streets of hong kong













happy ending massage parlors are blatanly advertised on high trafficed area. prostitution is illegal in hong kong but the police will still turn a blind eye. fighting is a crime that will get you arrested in hk but sex in exchange for money is completely ok here.









look familiar? you probably seen these delicacies being windowed at your local chinatown













it is not uncommon for two strangers to dine together at the same table in a high trafficked restaurant













roast pork














roast duck
