and lidan and car bought the legendary guo dong
HELLO

they were psycho-ed to buy
and the took it with them from taiwan to hongkong and back to sg
often worrying that the pressure of the flight might burst the guo dong

went to some tribe place selling chinese tonic
with their skin care products with the name-SK 1

and some place selling greeen tea powder
was damn tempted to buy the $50 worth green tea

can u imagine carmen and lidan was carrying the 4kg guo dong the whole while?

took a train back and attempted to find the kilin hotel
spent about 1 hr
theres a taxi driver thats so scary and dishonest
refuses to tell us the directions
and wanted us to board his cab
sian
liwen bought the green tea duo duo(yakult)
i regretted not buying it

the kilin hotel was quite sucky
and we realised we threw away breakfast coupons for tomorrow.

damn cheap can-TW$30 for a plate
and the amount totals to TW$600
abt $10 per person
bought 3 clothes there.
wanted to buy 2 bags-for abt $35 for both
but didnt
coz of the ultra long bargaining btwn me, lidan and shop owner
lidan is the best bargainer

met hoyin at tsim sha tsui station after that
at the handsome bear bank

we were staying at waterloo st
so that ong li dan told the driver that we are heading to shui-loo st
LOLS!
i rather worried that the driver will bring us for a ride
so i said loudly that we were very familar with the area after many attempts of walking
we agreed to play game after reaching hotel
but ended up chatting
and we calculated the prices for the cafe meal
and realised that hoyin was the one who counted wrongly
and we gossiped
and headed to bed there after
