HK: day 3 ( day 1 with internet)

so i arrived in HK on January 3rd at 7:25pm. mom’s friend picked me up and got me to her place in kowloon, the old part of hong kong. here is a picture of the view outside her window.

here are the streets of kowloon. the buildings are crazy old and remind me of Wall-E.

 

we then went to this indoor farmers market with dangling meat carcasses on the first floor and veggies on the second. i decided to take pictures of the veggies so i won’t gross myself out. 

at the end of the grocery run, my mom’s friend got me this thing called 大樹菠蘿 (big tree pineapple aka jackfruit). it smelled like asian mango jello cups, but tasted sour and weirdly unappetizing … but ‘exotic food’ ftw =] 

i really like looking at the ancient, moldy, and rusty buildings of kowloon. it’s quite beautiful -capturing the tradition and resilience of the chinese culture.however, living in one of these buildings is another story. the next post will have pics of my “worse than revelle fleets” dorm.
