Thursday was a holiday for Abby, Anne, and Dad. Anne spent the night at a friend's house so she came home later. We spent the first part of the morning cleaning up the house and moving me in. That was okay. Nothing too exciting.
KITCHEN AND COOKIES
Abby and I cleaned the kitchen and then made Mom and Dad lunch. Dad had, quite unfortunately, gotten Mom sick. So she was not feeling very well. I was feeling tired - as though I was getting sick- but still okay. So Abby and I made lunch and cleaned the kitchen. Then we decided to have some fun. So when Anne got home we made cookies! And they were, of course, AMAZING!. yummy yummy. We baked them while we played games as a family.
PIT
We had a pretty intense game of PIT going on. It was a LOT of fun. We are a pretty competitve family and the game was hilarious. I taught my family the fun of movie quotations on windows and mirrors. It was pretty crazy. We kept score on our porch sliding doors.
Oh, and I won, by-the-way...
THE FERRY AND THE LIGHT SHOW
After that I think we just sort of all did our own thing, and then got ready to go to the night market. The family had never gone so we planned to go as one of our many adventures for the weekend.
We took the ferry over to TST. We got on the ferry right before eight. I know because the light show is at eight and we were on the ferry when the lightshow began. It's pretty cool. All the buildings along the harbor put on a light show. There are those big search lights, laser looking beams of light and the whole building turns different colors. It's crazy.
THE NIGHT MARKET
Talk about PEOPLE! There were tons at the night market. I was expecting the same kind of crowd that was at the Wan Chai Market to be at the Night Market. No. That would have been wonderful. This was the Wan Chai Market times 1 million. OKay, maybe not a MILLION...but pretty dang close. You couldn't walk down the little pathway without touching someone! Not a fan of touching people I don't know so that wasn't exactly the coolest thing on the planet.
I'm pretty sure the market went on for three of four blocks. It was quite the walk. There were a lot of repeating shops: bags, shoes, shinny jewlery, shirts, paintings, purses, dragons, Buddha's, you name it and it was there - whether or not it was of great quality remains to be seen. But there were a ton of things to buy. I ended up getting a ring and a souvenir spoon.
It was a long night. It was the latest that I had stayed up since the first night I got to Hong Kong. It was good though because I started getting over the staying up late and getting up earlyness of Jetlag.
All in all it was a fun holiday. I really enjoyed spending time with my family playing games and going to the night market.
