Our showers are just in these rooms that don't have any sort of protection from the door and the hall outside...so apparently while she was showering TONS of water was coming out through the crack under the door and into the hall and almost all the way to my bed! there was a HUGE FLOOD! we didn't want to tell the people at the hotel, so kelsey went and got some extra towels, and we mopped it all up...but not before i got a video of it...i'll try and post that!
anyway after we cleaned that up and got ready we went and got breakfast at our home away from home (mcdonalds) again. the mall is right next to our little hotel so it's nice...we bought a few things (i got a purse and some stuff for the fam).
We are actually staying at the place where we were going to perform that night, so at one we just headed downstairs to the theater and then we had a rehearsal with noteworthy for our show that night.
After our rehearsal it was about 2, we stopped at the supermarket and got some snacks, but we were all SO exhausted because our sleeping schedules are a little mixed up, so we came back to take a "quick nap" before we had to go back and rehearse with all of the groups at 5:00. First of all, we should've realized this was a bad idea because we were all so jet lagged and back home this would be the time when we would all be actually going to bed for the night, but we didn't think about that and we accidentally all slept through our alarms and we woke up at 5:45 to Snowy and Sofia knocking on our door. we felt really bad considering this is the whole reason we are in hong kong and we just slept through it!! haha i guess jet lagged girls should never try to take a "short nap" haha. that sleep was the best sleep i've gotten all week though...so it was kind of nice. so we rushed to get ready really fast and then headed down for rehearsal...we had only missed one of the group song rehearsals so it wasn't so bad (although our director made a joke that if anyone was late for the show they'd have to pay 200 american dollars) OOPS!
anyway after the final rehearsal we came back and got ready for the concert. The concert was great. I really enjoyed listening to all of the chinese groups even though i couldn't understand a few of the songs. There was also a girl there who won their version of "America's got talent". She was pretty good too! it was also fun to see some of our tour guides singing in the groups. We were the last to perform, and it was SO FUN! it's nice because this year there have been quite a few times when we've been competing in front of audiences who didn't exactly love us haha, but this audience did! afterwords we took about a billion photos with people haha. it was great.
after the show it was about ten thirty and we were all going to go take a nap, but then Snowy told us that some of the other groups were going to some restaurant that's authentic Hong Kong food. It was outside on the street...one of those places that looks really sketchy, but is actually REALLY good ya know? so we went with them. It was really fun to get to sit and talk with them since we haven't really been able to do that. they taught us a little Cantonese, and were really impressed with our usage of chopsticks (thank you panda express!)...
The food was really great, which is nice because that is something that i was really worried about before i came. I am not a huge fan of seafood and i'm not very adventurous usually when it comes to eating, so i wasn't sure if i'd like anything here, but i actually think i enjoy it all a little TOO much...i'm gonna have to work some of this off when i get home haha...but guess what? i tried squid!
haha it was actually fried squid, but it was good and i ate quite a bit of it...i got some photo proof because i didn't think my mom would believe me haha...it was kind of just like french fries. There was also pig intestine but i couldn't bring myself to eat that after both amy and laina said it was gross hah. anyway so then we just came home and went to bed...Hong Kong has been such a great experience and we're so happy to be here. Although the one thing i will run to first when i get home is ICE!!! i miss ice. anyone who knows me knows i love to eat ice...and there just a HUGE lack of it here. At most restaurants they just give us hot water to drink because we don't drink tea or coffee. and we drink mostly bottled waters which obviously don't have ice in them...but other then the ice problem, H
ong Kong is great. :)This is an artpiece right out side our hotel that we keep wanting to take a picture with, so yesterday a few of us climbed on it...then this lady runs over screaming at us and we look over and see a sign that says (in plain english) "NO CLIMBING" haha oops.
