Green light streak

Today was a really nice day, it is Joyce's only whole day off while I'm here and we managed to make it worthwhile, despite sleeping half the day away. We started the day with a 2pm breakfast at the now so familiar dim sum restaurant in the Ginza mall close to where Joyce lives with nearly all her family (mom, dad, brother, sister three and the little cousin included). Dim sum is always nice, a lot of a lot and tea for ever, and I actually tried to eat a piece of deep fried octopus arm.

After the dinner we went to buy movie tickets to a film called Flash Point, the movie was quite good and had some really cool fighting scenes, that we went to see a bit later. After buying the tickets we walked around a bit and I found two pair of pants (same same but different color) and until the movie we just had some relax time.

After the movie we wanted to find a KFC to eat at, but the one in Ginza haven't opened yet so we started off on a KFC search excursion, we took a light rail to the other side of Tin Shui Wai to a mall where Joyce thought there would be a KFC, but there wasn't any so we asked some mall staff of where we could find one and she directed us to another mall a bit off. Walking around a bit we found the other mall and in there to our luck we finally found the KFC, yeay!

After eating we realised that we only had one octopus card (a magnetic paying card for all puplic transport and some more in Hong Kong) and no coins for a ticket we decided to walk back home (which isn't very far since Tin Shui Wai is actually not much larger in size than Bjärred, just 35 times or so higher), and it would be quite nice with a walk after eating.

We didn't really find a straight line back home, but the walk was nice none the less, and what we did find was a perfect green light streak, and now I really mean perfect, we crossed around 10-15 light guarded streets and we didn't have to stop at a single one of them, some actually turned green as we took the last step towards them and others turned red as we walked them, even at the end of our walk when we were to enter the building the entrance door in the building slowed down behind the person that had opened it so that we could walk trough without stopping, and finally the automatically opening elevator door, on an elevator that doesn't have any automatic doors, without any people in it was the final proof, we were green light blessed tonight!

I didn't take many pictures this time, and I don't think I should post old pictures just for the sake of it, there will probably be more pictures later when I do more touristy stuff.
