Hong Kong - Day 2

I woke up a bit late, just after 7am. My roomy already shower and was reading the Mandarin newspaper when I finally drag myself off the pillows. I showered, clothed and watched a bit of the morning news. We headed for breakfast around 7.45am. Since today we planned to eat non-halal stuff so we decided to sit on different table.

The breakfast is the same menu everyday. There are:
Breads - toast, danish and all the likes
Fruits - honeydrew, watermelon, apples and orange
Cold-cut - ham, salad, yoggart
Main course - tim-sum, 2 pau per tray, fried noodles, waffle, deep-fried samosa, baked beans, baked tomatoes, fried bacon, french toast, sausage, omelette and potatoe wedges, porridge, boiled egg
Drink - orange juice, guava juice, plain water, milk, coffee, tea and cuppucino.

This is the second day I ate the same breakfast. Luckily some of the food was not bad. The fried bacon was too hard for me. Nontheless, I noticed that some of the visitors were having big servings of it. I stick to tim-sum, fried noodles, french toast, sausage, potatoe wedges, watermelon, orange juice and milk. I'm not much of the porridge person.

We headed to the office around 8.50am. Along the way, we took photos in front of a dragon stature. I noticed that Hong Kong has a number of dragon icons. I guess it a symbol of prosperity. We reached the office a quarter past nine. We were brought to an office tour and our first stop was the sales department. Overall, their sales are very motivated and eager. Some groups were seen having a meeting among the team and some team members were on the phone making appointment. Some team members share success stories. We were brought to other departments to view their daily work. After the short tour, we were back in the meeting room for another long day.

We finished meeting around 7.30pm. That night, we decided to explore a bit and shopping for gifts to bring home. We walked to Jaronine crescent. It took us about 15 minutes. The place was around the MTR station and I couldn't believe the crowd at that hours. It's like the super peak hours or the new year eve situation in my place. We managed to find Jaronine and walked the narrow street. Not much to see but there are some bargain hunting stuff. Unfortunately, only one of us speak Cantonise so the rest of the gang has to depend on her for bargaining. I ended up buying the typical Hong Kong T-shirts. One of my colleagues sarcasticly asked, "Is it because the t-shirt is too cheap for you?" I just swallowed it. No point argue with her. We are from different background. I was reluctant to buy the t-shirt because it a too common gifts.

We walked around further and did some window shopping. My colleagues bought some mini perfume in Sasa and some bundle clothes nearby. We managed to walked our way back to the hotel. Luckily, one of my colleagues is good at remember landmarks. If it were me, I would be lost. After putting our stuff in the room, my roomy and I went for dinner at a noodle house across the street from the hotel. It cost HK$23 per bowl but it was worth it. The noodles was nice and the spicy chillies add the flavour to it. Word of notes, their chillies or spicy noodles are not spicy at all. It's more like sweet and sour. As the time was closed to 11pm, we were the last customers. We hurry finished up our food and go back.

when packed all our stuff when we reached the room because we have to check out tomorrow and our flight back was 3.45pm. That's all for second day.
