My bright future

On Sunday evening we went to the Temple Street Night Market in Yau Ma Tei. It was pretty similar to the Ladies' market we went to last week, almost exactly the same products on sale, but this market was a lot bigger and had way more restaurants around. If you're searching for fake brand products, this is the place to find them, and even if you're not looking for anything, you'll still find something you kind of have to buy because it's so weird, cheap, or weird and cheap. I was classy enough to buy a Jimmy Choo bag with 18 euros. I tried to take the label off but it was too strongly attached - so even though I've never been too much of a bag-person, now I am walking around with a fake bag for the first time in my life and it feels wrong. But what happens in Hong Kong stays in Hong Kong, shoot me if you ever see me carrying a real or a fake Louis Vuitton bag in Europe. :D

Bags, shirts, shoes, posters, fans, phones, socks, sex toys, mirrors, books... What you can't find here you don't need.

Temple Street market is on Temple Street. Who would've known...

Religious stuff.

There is just so much to tell but I don't know where to start... So I'll just tell about the most important thing on earth: MY FUTURE.

At the Temple Street Market we went to a fortune teller to have a little glance on how our futures look like. I didn't find the dude very trustworthy, he should really work on his show and presence, but still I think all he said will be true, I mean what's the point in going to a fortune teller and then NOT believing everything he or she has to say? He looked at all the lines on my palms and drew something on them. First he said I am very stubborn and independent (which is half true). I also found out that I won't be able to save money before I turn 30, and I will die after I am 80 years old. But luckily quite soon I will find "a very good boyfriend", I will travel around, work in marketing department after graduating, and later get 3 kids - 2 girls and one boy (the oldest one being a girl). It was a huge relief to hear that I will get a very good boyfriend soon, because when we went to that Korean restaurant, Sam poured himself some beer, and after this Inwoo (from Korea) said that you should never pour your own beer, since it means that the person sitting on the opposite side of the table won't get a girlfriend or a boyfriend in the next three to four years, and of course it was me sitting on the other side of the table. I was quite angry at Sam for ruining my love life, but now since the fortune teller told the exact opposite, I have some hope again! Thank GOD!

Kathi needed a translator for her fortune teller lady.

There were dozens of fortune tellers to choose from

Silent streets

Food, food, food...

I bought a box with a picture of Mao..

...and there was a very surprising naked lady in the bottom when I opened it. WTF.

My extremely original Jimmy Choo and my Hello Kitty rice bowl.

Last Thursday we had a welcoming party for all the non-local students, with some traditional Chinese music and some sort of a kung-fu show, such a shame I didn't take any pictures. We were divided into groups randomly, and in my group there was an Austrian guy I hadn't met before. Our conversation went like this.
"Hi, I'm Hertta."
"Hi, nice to meet you. You're from Salzburg, right?"
"Well yeah, I study there but I am actually from Finland."
"Yes and you have a blog."
".........."

That was very, very funny. He said he has a Finnish girlfriend from Sipoo and she had shown him my blog some time ago since she also studies in Salzburg, and now I met her boyfriend at this welcome party in Hong Kong. The only word to describe that situation is my favorite English word: random.
Terveiset Noralle (vai oliko se Noora?) jos vielä joskus uudemman kerran eksyt mun blogia lueskelemaan! :D
