Lantau to Mong Kok

Today we started at 8.45am and we arrived back at 9pm...It was an amazing day of seeing new things and trying lots of new foods. We went on another cable car which Ashah hearing we were going said "not again, we have to all hold hands." The cable car ride went for 25 min and was about 1000ft off the ground at times, including above water, but I must admit it was the best way to see the coast line and the mountain areas. We also visited the biggest Buddha which they say is about 180 metres high, there were lots of people burning incense and gold paper to help them with good fortune. We then made our way to Tai O fishing village which was so quaint, lots of small lane ways and specialty shops selling dried fish and squid and the famous XO sauce, Janice also helped us to taste glutenous rice cakes filled with sesame seeds, a kind of caramel that they spread between 2 crackers and put a stick in it like a ice-cream..nice, we also tasted bbq squid. Later in the night we returned back on the cable cars and made our way to a popular district in Kawloon and had traditional street food, omelette with oysters and various delicious vegetables, but not snake as some were having! We later went to the first street in the main district of Mong Kok, so many bright fluorescent lights...
