Wong Tai Sin Temple

This morning, we spent the breakfast free coupon at the hotel restaurant. After the nice warm breakfast, we took the MTR to Wong Tai Sin station; where the Wong Tai Sin Temple is located. It is one of the most important and most frequently vistited temples of HK. At the entrance of the temple, there are tons of stores selling flowers, fruits, incense... ...When we got into the temple, we saw lots of people were worshipping and burning incense; and there were lots of tourists!!! It was very crowded. There is a street inside the temple, with lots of fortune tellers many people go and ask them to predict for their future. On the other side of the temple, there is a big pharmacy and a nice little park "Good Wish Gardens", where there is a small pond with lots of tortoises.

Prince Edward & Mong Kok

After visiting the temple, we took the MiniBus[1] to Prince Edward, it only carries 16 passengers[1.1]. You can drop off anytime at anywhere you want within the route; there's no stations[1.2]! We got off at the Grand Centry Place, which is another big big shopping mall. Unfortunately, it's too early for shopping; therefore we went to the Bird Garden - Yuen Po Street, right across from the mall. There are more than 200 stores selling all kinds of beautiful birds and the supplies for birds. It was kind of scary when we saw people were feeding the birds chooped grasshoppers, live crickets and even those tiny green snakes. At the end of the Bird Garden, it connects with the Flower Market. We walked through the Flower Market to Fa Yuen Street (between Prince Edward & Mong Kok), We bought lots of cheap stuffs: handbags, shoes, clothes, accessories ... ... our backpack was getting heavier and heavier! We then went back to our hotel to lighten our bag, which is only five minutes away.

Afterwards, we went to the South of Fa Yuen Street, where we can shop for lots of sports goods. There are lots of different styles of sneakers which we cannot find in Calgary. Also we went to the Computer Centre, where there is lots of cheap software, MP3 players, computer parts, memory cards and stuffs.

At night time, we went to a Korean Restaurant for BBQ at Sai Yeung Choi Street ; there were lots of people in line, we had been waiting for 40mins for a table. But it was very delicious! At night time, it's so crowded on the street. Sai Yeung Choi Street is always closed for cars, it is famous for electronic shops; each of us bought a modern cell phone. Afterwards we went to the Ladies Market(Tung Choi Street), the cheapest opened-air market! There are lots of lady clothing and stuff for all ages. It is a good place for us to bargain and save money.

It has been a long day for us, we had spent alot of money and we are all so tired, our feet are kind of sore.
