Day 2Started the day around 10:30am, had some bread in room before getting out for light meal. Had some dim sum ala cart (wu kok and...i really forgot), bought some typical hong kong pastries. Nothing much to be done today, planned to have canal cruises along the floating market.
Did some sightseeing today, not to those typical tourist attractions. Some more down to earth scenes. Saw a weird gang of men wearing outstanding c0stumes, sipping coffee at a coffee shop - Batman, Superman, Mr.Incredible, Robin etc. They are very proud of that! Passed by tourist "trap" for the typical wooden shoes, roses beside a house, cheese shops, Sex shops and many more.
Along the way, can see the beautiful scenery for boats and cruises passing by, the town taxi, the architectural houses, churches, kindergarden, restaurants and many more. When we reached the floating market, the sun is too hot for me to have the boat ride, so buddy is the tour guide to brief me why most of the houses will have underground. Do you know why? --- Is for the maid/slave to stay in 
as they are not allow to step into their master's house during the old days. Sounds pity heh... :(A quick shot at Bijenkorf Shopping Mall before got back for nap. Dinner at the same old place --- roasted duck rice and shrimp rice before getting to the bus station. Waiting and waiting, bus came and we finally reached home around 5am!
P/S: No windmill around in the city, is far far away at the countryside, too bad for that, but i had a mini one :P!
