Snoopy Land
I went to run errands today on my day off. I went Hang Seng Bank to see if I could pick up my debit card. Apparently it had not arrived yet so I have to wait until Thursday or Friday still. I had to go to another bank to exchange my travellers cheques for cash. I need the money to pay my rent and my realestate agent fee. It took much longer this time, I thought Hong Kong people would be familar with cashing travellers cheques but it really has been a hassel. I got ahold of Patsy who was going to Snoopy Land out in Sha Tin with her aunt. She suggested that I go to Mong Kok first, which really isn't a good idea for me at this point, so I decided to meet her at Snoopy Land. I probably won't ever go on my own so this is as good a time as any to go. Patsy probably spent an hour there already before I arrived. We spent another 2 hours once I got there. We went off to Mong Kok afterwards to do some shopping in the streets. I bought on T-shirt ($50 HKD) with a little bargining from Patsy. We spent the rest of the time looking for shoes, a pair of pascal coloured Converse for Patsy and white/green Adidas for myself. We must have went into 30 or more shoe stores, all along this one stretch in Mong Kok. I am actually tired from all the walking I have been doing in Hong Kong. No wonder the girls rarely wear high heel shoes here. We met up with Raymond and his girl friend afterwards in Tsim Sha Tsui and Raymond treated us out to a nice place to eat and an interesting icecream dessert afterwards. I guess I paid for it by being the focus of their jokes, my Chinese really is terrible. But, I must try to correct this, or else I will continue to be taken advantage of. I didn't make it out to Wan Chai to inquire about my HK ID but I made an appointment for next Monday. I need to get to sleep, first working day of this week tomorrow.
