Short and sweet like coconut and mango!

Tuesday we went to Wan Chai and to pick up our passports (We were getting visas to go to mainland China).  The first time we were there dropping off our passports we could smell something coconutty close to the McDonalds, but knew it wasn't McDonalds, so tried to follow our noses.... It didn't work, so when we went back this time we tried again... We found it!  These are little "egg cupcakes"  they are kinda like waffles, but crispy and hollow and made w/ a coconutty batter.  you could just break off each individual egg, it was splendid! 

We then went and bought our Japan Rail pass which was more than our flights to Japan.  I'm guessing that our budget is going to be blown on our Japan trip contrary to our best efforts!  But we're still thrilled to be going!  

After that little side trip we walked to the Temple Street market.  We wanted DVD's... which we found, but we had to ask a guy who was only selling Blu rays if he had any DVD's... he told us to follow him, and he took us through a door to a back room with a curtain in front of it and there was his stash of DVDs... we payed 100HKD just over 10 bucks for 4 DVDs... you think they are legit? 

After the market it was time for dinner... we thought this bazaar would be interesting, and cheap... It wasn't that cheap... nor was it that interesting... But it was funny... who eats in a tent in the middle of the city?  

just a street close to the Temple Street Market, Lockey said it reminded him of where he stayed when he came w/ his dad and Bradey. 

We had been looking for mangoes the last few days as we had finished our last one and couldn't find one close by... but I saw some at a mans fruit booth on the street and picked it up and boy did he yell at me! "DON'T TOUCH!!!!"  I would've left except I really wanted the mango so I made Lockey deal w/ him.  So anyways, we got our mango, and if you think it is odd how I really wanted this mango wait until you see it... I think it is called a Queen Mango.  And they are HUGE and Juicy... and very heavy to take on a train ride home, but oh so worth it... 

bigger and heavier than a swack of bananas! 

Lockey and I also went climbing one day this week, and I ripped my hands up really good... lots of tape was used!  And then Lockey went yesterday and ripped up his pinkies!  The holds are brutal!  Hopefully we'll get our hands all callused up again!  

Stay tuned for more fun and adventures!
