DAY 7

So much, yet it seems so little. An adventure in Hong Kong, though you'll figure out my meaning of adventure soon!! :P
Got up to find the world washed by rain, and then wondered why doesn't the Hong Kong observatory ever get their predictions wrong. It seemed as a perfect start to a boring day.
But the rain stopped and I got ready to leave. I had to see plenty of places, but as soon as I wore my shoes, the rain was at it again.
But, when it paused for a moment, I was out on the roads and onto a bus. My first City bus ride in HK and I didn't know that they charge a flat fee. So I bugged the driver about my destination and he'd say was go back and sit.
Finally, at the Central Metro station, I am lost again, 'cause I can't figure where the station is. But not for long. At the station, I move onto elevators one after another, till I land right before the train that would take me to Mong Kok. Interesting place, atleast the name!! ;)
Got myself a digicam with quite a few accessories and it felt good after all the haggling I had done and the time I had spent.
And then went to a place, where there were plenty of indians, pakistanis, bangladeshis and I understand you get the idea. Btw, this place is called Tsim Sha Tsui (TST).
The Metro rides were awesome. I haven't used Metro's in Delhi as yet, so this was a kinda first and I had a great time, until I landed back at the Central station.
Headed out of the wrong exit and came out in the middle of nowhere. I had no clue in which part of the city I was in and in my ecstacy for adventure, I had lost my bearings totally. Couldn't get back to the metro either.

So now I was certainly a kid LOST in Hong Kong. Or almost that. Initially, it was fun to search here and there, but then it started pouring and all the fun started dissolving.
But the wierd kid that I am, I had this whim of going back to the room in the city bus. So I would go here and go there and land where I started.
An important suggestion: Don't try to test the fact that you actually go in circles when you are lost!! ;)
One and a half hours soaked to the skin, I finally found the bus stop where the bus to my room came!! Pheww. Mission successful. Atleast I felt so!! :P
Back at the room, had a bath and an interesting lunch of Bhindi and bread with a fellow intern and then proceeded to tamper with my new prized possession- the Sony Cybershot DSC T100!! :)

But there wasn't any subject to take a pic of! :( It was very dark outside so no buildings were properly visible and my room looked a little untidy to have been captured on a pic. ;)
