Friday Night in Lan Kwai Fong

Last night I went out with a group of International students. We rode the MTR to Hung Hom and then walked across the waterfront of the Victoria Harbour as they had a light show. I was a bit disappointed because when I think light show I'm thinking Disneyland... maybe we were just a little too late or something because we only saw like 3 buildings with laser beams shining from them. The harbour was absolutely gorgeous anyways though. Here are some pictures, but it's much better when you are looking at it & smelling the saltiness of the ocean.

 

After we walked across the waterfront we took a ferry across the harbor. We went up to roof patio on top of a big mall and just "chilled out." It was pretty fun. I learned all about the Scandinavian countries from 3 Swedish boys and 1 Finnish boy. Fun fact, every single country has their own version of American Idol... Swedish Idol, Finnish Idol, Australian Idol... I never knew. Also they have a contest called Eurovision where people from every European country compete with different songs and a Finnish guy named Lordi won, but apparently it wasn't a proud win for Finland because this guy is nuts. 

Hahaha. So anyways, that was a fun conversation. I learned all sorts of interesting stuff about their countries that you surely won't find in a textbook. When we were done there, everyone headed over to an area called Lan Kwai Fong that was basically a block full of bars and clubs that was jam packed with people. Don't worry, I took a picture.

I always feel super touristy taking pictures so I really haven't taken too many. It was a way fun night though. We went in a club that was basically an ice room. They had fur coats you could put on and then it was like standing in a freezer. I could see my breath which is super weird for Hong Kong, I haven't been cold at all since I got here, constant sweating basically. Oh well.
