The best things in Hong Kong are hidden

These past two days have been really fun for me. I got to go eat dim sum (finally) and eat lunch at another restaurant with my coworkers. This dimsum place and the other place I ate lunch at is literally hidden somewhere in this compacted city. We went through so many streets that I don't even know how to find my way back to eat at those places if I even wanted to go by myself. We ate at this dimsum restaruant wednesday at lunch for one of the guys' birthday in the design studio. His name is alvin. About 11 people from work came along, and we ordered SO MUCH FOOD! Oh my goodness. The table couldn't even fit the amount of dim sum we had ordered. I had the usual ha gow and siomai. But then I also ate new things like scallion cake, this really seasoned vegetables, and more! The total bill came up to about 126HKD, about 16USD. Not bad, I'm thinking, since we ordered a ton of food!

The next day for lunch, the guys and treyna brought me to this small restaurant, where I can't even tell you the location. We walked through many streets just to get there (thank goodness that we have an hour for lunch!!). I had what my friend gary had (minus the eggs). I had rice, chicken cutlets, vegetable preserves, and 2 links of sausage. I also got a bottle of coke, and all together it was less than 5 USD. WTF! that's a deal!! During lunch, my friends were helping me learn new cantonese phrases. LOL, I learned how to say "I Love you" and "She is a tourist". hahah, i gotta take it day by day.. ya kno?

When I got back to work, I continued working on a few projects. I had to make revisions on a few CMHI covers so that they would be ready for monday when the client sees the presentation. Day by day I've been really getting comfortable with the people I work with, I just wish i knew cantonese better!!

After work today, I took my time to walk home so I could take some pictures! I took alot. Tomorrow should be really fun. Later friday night, some friends from work agreed to go out with me to the club and drink and have fun! Hopefully these plans will happen! And saturday and sunday I'm going to Macau! I was planning on getting a massage in one of the hotels. I am soo excited for this weekend!! =)

You know you can leave photos on here too right? You can even add them in right where you talk about them. :) Just thought I'd say something for the fun of it.
