One night in HK

I don't know how I should call this... Holdup? Stuck? Whatever... the fact is this stupid colleague forgot that we needed to get another visa for entering to china again (now we got single entry only), after she forgot the way to HK office, where she's been for several times, and still insisited to try to walk there and not just hopped on a taxi. Anyway, until the visa office was closed we just found out we were not able to go back to SZ dorm and had to stay in HK with no spare clothes and sanitary articles and cosmetics and stuff. Luckily my team boss just got here today and we were put in same flat of HK dorm so we can at least borrow some stuff from him (haha... yes what can 2 girls borrow from a guy? Nothing! except for tooth paste...). I was ok for this accident and I had some simple makeup in bag with me all the time, and I'm not quite picky with shampoo or bath gel or makeups or any personal care stuff (see girls are so annoying...), so I only need to get tooth brush & disaposible panties in supermarket, and a t-shirt in street stand. My stupid colleague, however, were the worried one and right after offwork she split with us and run immediatley to makeup stores for her "preferred brands". In fact I'm a bit excited about the stay in Hk cuz this is my first time here and my stupid colleague has no plan to know when we'll be in HK or in SZ (and I'm assigned to follow her...!??) Anyway, I'm glad my boss (from my offshore team) is here and I'm able to complain to him for the chaos of china team.
Because of looking for a top, I had chance to go to night market (temple street), downtown Mongkok (旺角) and Nathan street. The booths in "night market" started to pack up very early around 11pm, but on the contrary tea resturants are getting more and more packed after 11pm and on Nathan street the crowds would make you confused if it's only dinner time or already midnight. The night market is nothing special to the ones in taiwan (taiwan markets are even bigger tho), same lots of "made in china" cheap junks. HK dorm is just upstairs of the office which is less clean and older than SZ dorm, but it's good to be able to watch HK tv and see what's going on in this place (I was quite fed up with SZ tv for same programs as taiwan's). Again I enjoy quite much in listening to HK's cantonese accents but too bad i don't have much time to observe their living culture this time. Oh one thing is interesting, that the tea resturants always have a lot of menu sheets (sometimes more than 10) on the table instead of a booklet in several pages, and the food can be ranged from chinese to cantonese to thai to italian to malay to american.... amazing isn't it? Those cooks are worthy of the name "Iron Chefs"!
By the way, SZ massage is also incredible and I will tell you more later but you can see the pic first.
