If you have been to the USA before, you know why this shop in Kowloon is awesome.

I will be the first to admit that leaving HK Island for Kowloon is very low on my list of priorities.  However, when I heard there was a legit and dirty TexMex restaurant initialed TJ (Tijuana) I was the first to hop on the Star Ferry.  The experience was inspiring; older American gentlemen asking young HK girls to take photos of them, and then over-thanking them, cheap beer, dirty wooden tables and stools.  The real selling point- their chips and salsa are actually REAL homemade chips and salsa.  Some may not think that is a huge deal, but to those of us who love us some chips n dip, I moved Kowloon up a notch in my book.

Ever have one of those days where life just doesn’t work in your favor? In the middle of Kowloon lies a hidden treasure only the lucky and absolutely happy people get to go.  Glee Path.  One walk down it, and you are new and chipper as the day you found out this blog existed.  Weee

If you grew up in scary neighborhoods you would know that some people you just don’t cross. In Kowloon, it’s the g’s. And when you lean on their ass, they get upset. What I heard from the guard is the last kid to lean on a g’s ass was mercilessly beaten until he named 10 cereals. Evil g’s.

How does my leg look?

This road illustrates another reason why us westerners in HK fear the other side. Hanoi? Last time some of our people were there it got ugly and they started lying about Hilton Hotels. Rationalized fear? You bet.
