Sham Shui Po

Today I went to Sham Shui Po. It is a distributing district. Each street sells something differnt.
One street only sells cloths, one street only sells electronics, and one street only sells toys and collectibles.

I love that place, but my mom and relative was all tired half after walking a few blocks so we left. But I did bought many things. Everything there are so affordable.

Even with all the variety I still can't find what I am looking for. I can't find good Yuki Nagato figures. She is the least popular of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya characters. But when I find it, it will be cheaper compare to the other characters.

I am going to return to Sham Shui Po. I only walked around one block of the toy street and I have yet visited the electronic street and the computer shopping center.

Rain rain, go away, come again, another day!

It been raining every day here. The weather report aways say sunny, cloudy, and rain every day. They are right every time. You'll see all three at some point during the day.

We had plan to go to Disneyland, Ocean Park, or the Police museum. We had to alter plan for the past few days.

Yesterday, we did go to buy some Chinese Herbal Medicines. But we did it in the rain, we actually waited for the rain to stop, but it didn't stop, but we went anyway.

UBER FAST!!!!

I've just set up a modem at my Grandma's place to split the DSL there.

The connection is very fast here. I downloaded portal in 15 minutes. I downloaded Team Fortress 2 in two hours.

It could also be that our modem at home might just suck. It was free...

Shopping!

I went shopping on Thursday and Friday.

On Thursday, it was more like window shopping since I didn't buy any thing.
I went to Mong Kok with family. I actually didn't mind looking at cloths with them. I guess I missed the fashion of Hong Kong. Then I went to a shopping center that is almost filled with toys and collectible shops.
I wanted to buy so much stuff there. But every thing is a bit expensive. I want to buy a figure of Yuki Nagato from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. But it cost $180 HKD. I guess after converting the currency to USD, it is not as expensive, but I doubt I can get the funding.

The next day I did buy something I like and still cheep. The only reason why it is cheep, it is because I seen it in the States. I saw a Union Flag from Gundam 00 at the Animerathon this year. It cost $30 USD. I bought the Flag for $148 HKD which is about $18 USD.

I love Hong Kong!!!!!

Dead Like Me

Sandy introduced me to this show.

'Dead Like Me' is about an eighteen year old girl who got killed by a soviet space station's toilet seat falling from orbit. She, George, got recruited by a group of grim reaper.

The story tells how George must adapt to her new life as a reaper. She must take people's soul before they are killed. Her identity is gone, far as any one alive is concerned. She live among the living but she is discouraged to have too much interaction with them.

Her boss discouraged, almost forbid, her to interact or even thinking about her old family. But nothing is stopping her. George still sneak back home to check up on her family. She regret not interacting with her sister much when she was still alive. Now she helps her sister to cope with her death and help her with life.

This show is funny, witty, and makes you think about your life. I love it. Too bad there are only two seasons. Check it out on DVD or online sometime.

They are making a 'Dead Like Me Movie.' But some characters and actors won't be returning. They say, if the sale of the direct to DVD movie dose well, they might just film more episodes.
