Meizhou to Hong Kong

17/4/12 早上 7.40 we depart for Hong Kong on a coach. 親人们都有来送行。

The coach journey to HK takes around 5 hours （coach fare at only CNY 80 per person) and by 1.30pm we have crossed the border and arrived at Kowloon 太子道. We catch a cab from there and arrive at our hotel the Cosmo Hotel Mongkok. 

We go to the nearby area to explore and to stretch our legs, finding our way to the so-called 女人街和庙街 which are about 20 minutes walk from Cosmo。

I was tired and had bags under my eyes due to the lack of sleep .....

 We stop by 恭和堂 to have 卄四味 and 龟苓膏. Their 龟苓膏 costs HK$45, more than double others' but apparently theirs are the real deal.

鱼蛋档

We have a supper of 粥 and 猪肉饼煲仔饭 and we retire to our bed happy that we have now crossed 他the border and get back in time to "civilization". From here on end we need not worry about the quality of food and a clash of cultures. How wrong we are....
