anyways I ended up sleeping in the middle (safe ground - or so I thought) but hell was I wrong. NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WILL STILL GET KICKED - ON BOTH SIDES - even when I was practically sleeping in a straight line, legs crossed together to allow both sides more space.
think something like:
worst part was waking up and realizing you're the only one awake at 5am. scrambled over to the empty bed. ahh. sweet liberation.
day 2 morning, we set off for phototaking in the famous Venetian shoppes river and gondola.
and not forgetting some fake/sensual touristy shots
but the highlight of the morning probably had to be the FOOD.
Lord Stow's Bakery portugese egg tarts - I LOVE!!!
and others..
Tai Lei Loi Kei pork chop buns we missed out earlier (imo, soso~)
金马轮 polo buns and pork chop buns. very authentic cha chan teng feel, complete with the cramped seats.
concluded that I'm not a fan of pork chop buns.
some games at the casino and several shuttle bus rides later, finally we were headed for HK!
(no photos, busy trying to catch more sleep)
dinner at 美心 maxims! kind of like our crystal jade, with western/chinese/bakery stores, but more affordable?
chef's recommendation - 蜜汁叉烧炒蛋
i generally like fried eggs so this was an okay~ meal.
next, exploring causeway bay (and getting tricked to walk to CK and Burberry Black!)
also spotted a life-sized (?), 3D promo campaign for HP7 part 2.
how cool is that?
other weird sightings: huge meiji meltykiss (approx 30x30cm), and a fujifilm BEAUTY shop (??)
called it a night after returning to hostel!
speaking of which, we were practically living the romance of 道明寺 and 杉菜: THE SIZE OF THE HOSTEL ROOM WAS EVEN SMALLER THAN THE TOILET IN VENETIAN!!
quick comparison:
vs 
also, wifi reception was v poor so more often than not we found ourselves squatting in the hostel walkway tapping on wifi :(
and the phone that "couldnt" work.. turns out that we (vivien) was trying to dial our OWN room extension.
bimbo moment.
k la, at least it was cheap, rather clean, and in a pretty good location. no other complaints!
