Day 3 was sacraficed to Dongguan, so onto Day 4!
After school Trav and I headed to see the 10,000 Buddha's Monastery. Instead of walking up the touristed path we walked through the village. I took him to some of my favorite enclaves.
We headed up to the top and Trav was pleased to find a monkey. He creeped on it until the monkey growled and barred its fangs. Unperturbed, trav continued his approach and the monkey charged. Trav kicked it and it retreated but my heart almost stopped.
We creeped over to the back of the building I knew to be under construction and were able to peek in at the new Buddhas they're building.
On the way down I took him to my favorite bee farm. But travis is a baby and was scared.
Next we headed to Sha Tin Wei for some hot pot with my friends (yeah, friends!) Moss and John. It is my favorite place to eat in Hong Kong and Trav liked some of it too.We got him to try cow stomach and coagulated blood. He is really loving the cow stomach here..
Here John is teaching Trav to massage the Phi Phi in order to break it's shell off to eat. Everytime I did it the Phi Phi's back broke and I had to pick at it.
Next was my turn for some new foods (not always easy to come by anymore). Chicken testicles.. I was a little disturbed by the smell but I popped it in my mouth. To my great surprise a cooked "only boys have it" (as John continually referred to it as) is much like a balloon and when you bite it it pops in your mouth. This was my first reaction to that sensation:
Otherwise though it just has a strong chicken flavor.
I don't know what night this goes with..BUT we made a visit to Temple Street Night Market and grabbed Trav some cool rock souvenirs.
