i think vapor was talking about a HK style cafe right across Yung Kee. It has almost every type of food, milk tea, fish ball fun, curry beef stew, wonton noodle, etc. It is quite famous and lot of celebrities go there for "siu yea" too!

I"m using a program call 九方, it pretty easy to use.... u just use the number pad to dial the word...

and did you have ur computer put as a muti-language?? it on XP pro second disk...i'm not sure does it effect the way it shows....

and I think i kinda know which store u talked about...sorry... i'm not good at english-chinese...cause some of the sound don't get me much...I know small amount of

chinese..most of them I forgot....it just happen that I learn more when I met my girlfriend....haha (I didn't pass my high school chinese class before, so.... sheeesh... hey... i thought it would be easy, since the teacher is a white guy)

Hey Vanessa, most of the tuner shops are in Mong Kok near Hak Po St. like Alan said. There's even an official Sparco dealer/showroom there I also hear that there's grey-market garages out in the New Territories, but I've never been to one and can't say for sure.
And like Alan said, watch your bag and your back. HK's gotten kinda (more) ghetto these days... And watch your forehead too, us tall Chinese types have it tough in HK

hihi guys...and gals...

anyway...HK is not as hot as i expected, but the air still hard to breath in...kinda stiff..

vanessa...when ever u go out... have your purse infront of you all the time...like tight carry it...my cousin said there is alot of those ppls from China who goto HK for some business...ant they are so pro... u dont really wanna know...those ppls call 自由行 aka free walk....they will cut open your pant or ur purse...and take what ever they can...without notice...scary...

just remember...watch your stuff every second...oh...and also your cell phone if u got one...a lot of those are gone also....haha

HONG KONG FOOD ARE SO GOOD.....and those small house style cafe is sooooo good...haha...and sorry...I left my d-cam in da bag...didn't take pics yesterday....I saw a hard-mod forester....tight.....

peace
alan
