Day 10: October 31 Hong Kong

We arrive in Hong Kong!

Since we took the earlier flight we had plenty of time to get ready to celebrate Halloween at Lan Kwai Fong. Janice was a greek goddess (thank you Lala's mom for making the outfit :) ) and Lala was too scared to dress up as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, so she went as a doll? LOL

we arrived at LKF, expecting great things, but we were in for a nightmare. The entire streets in Central and surrounding areas were barricated. Sidewalks were fenced, forcing EVERYONE to walk the same path. It was SOOOOOOO HOT and HUMID and CROWDED!! We walked in circles and we saw different MTR stations that we past and we ended up walking for 1.5hrs in 3 inch heels uphill and downhill with stairs and we STILL weren't at the bar area. We got pissed, so we got a taxi to go home. The taxi driver got lost, we were circling around Janice's Aunt's area for an hour, and we had no idea how to get to Janice's Aunt's place since we JUST arrived in HK a couple hours ago and had no time to scope the place out. The taxi driver got pissed at us cause WE didn't know where we were going when Janice already gave him a written address of where to go. Finally Janice called her aunt to give the taxi driver step-by-step directions and he STILL didn't know how to get us home. Lala recognized the homeless man sleeping in the same spot when we left to go to LKF earlier and we just asked the taxi driver to let us off. He had the nerve to charge us FULL even though HE got lost....$140. Janice said "No, you got lost starting at $80, and that's all you're going to get" and the taxi guy tried to not give us change but Janice asked for her change bitterly.
FINALLY arrived home FML it is now 3am.
