FISHES!!!

So you think to yourself, "I want a specific something. Where to get it?"

In Hong Kong, there is one simple answer for that.

A street market. For that specific item.

No joke. That's how it works in Hong Kong. The number of markets they have is off the walls.

Proof: The Night Market, The Lady's Market, The Jade Market, The Flower Market, The Electronics Market...anddd the Gold Fish Market.

So Danika and I said to ourselves today, "I want a fish. Where do I get it?"

So where do you think we meandered off to today? The Goldfish Market of course!!
And it was pretty baller.

(one of the 20+ stalls selling fish)

(these ones were also really cool)

(You can buy tinsy turtles here for like $2!! That size is illegal in the US)

(regular market one street over from the Goldfish Market)

(best selection of kids clothes ever)

(who needs directions anyways...)

(OUR BABIES!!!)

Our fish are so cool!! They are completely see-thru so you can see all their tiny bones. Except for a colorful  neon stripe down their backs. We named them things to do with our adventures here in Hong Kong.
Yellow = Dumpling
Orange 1 = Cebu (from the city in the Philippines)
Orange 2 = MJ (because there are about 15 people here we call MJ)
Pink = Victoria (from Victoria Harbour where I run every morning)
Purple = Taro (like the purple root that they eat like it's their job)
Green = Mr. Wong (that crazy awesome lunatic...)

Let's hope they don't die too soon.
On the other hand, this conversation did go down between us and a saleslady:
"How long will these fish live without a filter?"
"2 months"
"Perfect"
What?? We can't bring them home with us....

Finally get them in their bowl, and none have died yet! Success! We got a random asian to read us the instructions :)

(look at their see-thru bodies!!)

(neon!)

They are so awesome....
