Hong Kong Day 4

We were choosing to go either Disneyland or Ocean Park on the 4th day in Hong Kong & finally we decided to go Ocean Park since me & my sis has already been to Paris & Tokyo Disneyland. Well, all I can say is its really a bad idea to go to theme parks in summer unless you're a 'sun' person. I'm more like a 'rain' or 'cloud' person. In other words, I like weather that's good to sleep in.It was so freaking hot & they made us took out our caps for the ride
But the view is worth it
Our umbrellas are just inches away.
I wanted to ride on this, but then I remembered that I wore a skirt that day T.T
Sourvenir shops. I'm totally in love with the lobster stuff toy can someone get it for me when you go there next time?
It was so crowded & nobody wanted to sit at the exposed area because it was so freaking hot.
Dolphin show!
I dunno why but I feel like fighting for animal rights after the show. Imagine if you're a dolphin & you were trained to flip & turn in the air for the rest of your life T.T

Nobody felt like eating lunch due to the weather & the price of the food over there. We desperately needed aircond so we went to the aquarium. Apparently everyone else does too. The whole time inside the aquarium we were pushed by the visitors behind us & the place is so crowded that I think the fishes are dying of heatstroke.
And everytime we take pictures we only got 2 seconds before the people starts pushing again. Look at my oily face to tell you how hot it is.
We have no idea what's in the background because we have no time to look at it LOL.This is actually a type of seahorse. So cool right?

After the aquarium, we went to the second part of Ocean Park where you'll have to take a cable car to reach there.
But it turns out that it was for kids less than 12 years old & SOME SUPER EMBARASSING EMERGENCY happened so we took off & went back to Zhong Wan MTR station. Apparently disposable panties are not really a safe travel option after all.

Then we headed to the Jumbo Floating Restaurant, which is like the landmark of Hong Kong. I used to see it in promotional videos of Hong Kong. We took a bus to the jetty, & took a free sampan provided by the restaurant to reach there.
Hong Kong Zai Jetty
Drying up fishes to make salted fish.
Jumbo Restaurant's jetty
Inside the sampan
Outside the Sampan wtf. There're also sampans for rent to tour around the river.
TADAA!! Please tell me you've seen this somewhere too.
The seafood buffet cost around RM 180 per person.

Later we went back to Tong Lo Wan MTR station to go to our next destination & please look at the crowd!

Later at night, we went to Golden Computer Center because I was so determined to buy WII fit. The electronics & computer gadgets are so cheap over there I think OTAKUs will love it if you go there.
We finished surveying the whole place around 10 something & we figure its still too early to go back so we walked to Ladies Street to shop again HAHAH. I was so determined to find the Converse Sneakers at the Sportshoes Street but then I accidentally found a Japanese restaurant having 50 % off on Sushi & sashimi after 10 pm so me & my sister went up to eat.


The atmosphere was great & it's really worth it because the salmon & tuna I expected was as thin as paper but this proove me wrong. But there's one thing about Hong Kong that you should know. THERE'S A LOT OF HIDDEN CHARGES AROUND. When we were full & satisfied, we asked for the bill & the waitress came over & tell us, 'You have to spend at least RM30 per head to get the half price discount.' So we end up ordering salmon sashimi again & ate until we got the sum. This is not the only time so please be careful when you're buying something or eating in a restaurant in Hong Kong.
