I am back!!!

Just returned from Hong Kong last night. Kinda late. unpacked my luggage. nothing much except my worn clothes. didn't buy much as the elderly we went with couldn't walk much. spent most of our time waiting for her to catch up with us, waiting for her to shop the dried foodstuff shops, the provision shops, Macau-ing (all of us got nausea & seasick as it was very windy & the ferry there was really shaky!), buying a lot of food which she couldn't carry, and we had to carry them for her in the day and walked long hours, travelling around, visiting & sight-seeing till wee hours at night, finding ways out for her when she dropped her octopus card (we bought the limited access card!) and got stuck inside, couldn't get out, she followed the crowd blindly and ended up at the other train service when we actually reached the venue and wanted to exit out, we wanted to lighten the load of the bread when we're at Macau while she wanted all to eat roast meat and chicken with her instead of bread, have to make sure she is within out sight when crossing road because she'll just cross without looking when she's tired & rushing for payment by taking out the stack of money she had to let the hawker pick the amount for paying the bill when my uncle is supposed to pay instead of her! so dangerous!! did enjoy the trip on the whole, but didn't manage to shop as much as I wanted. went broke from eating not shopping! we lived at the tourist area, so the food there was pretty expensive! we couldn't just have a quick bite of fastfood or buns for lunch when we actually wanted to have more time to enjoy and shop... argghhh... I will not travel with elderly again! she just buy whatever she wants to, especially food! even though she couldn't carry them, she'll just buy without consideration whether she can handle or we can handle or not! JUST BUY! its not a matter of money but the issue is whether we can handle all or not. she didn't carry anything and got too tired from walking, let alone us, carrying our own things + hers + looking after her + looking after another child. the child is even much easier to look after cos she will listen and help! elderly - just buy, eat, and stubborn. told her not to buy so much, but will still end up buying A LOT! she alone bought 8 boxes of 老婆饼! when my sis & I only bought 4! I heard she wanted to buy more but my aunt and uncle can't carry so much when there's only 4 of them yesterday and only 2 adults + 1 kid carrying the things while we, 4 youngsters went to shop. sobz... 45 min of shopping at mong kok only! so not enough!!! rushed back to the guesthouse to pack the things into our luggage and hurried to the airport. in the end, my sis and I forgot our dried laundry. left our ahem there... that was my favourite piece and expensive too. its rather new so I am still quite disppointed that I left it there... sobz...
