HI!!! i'm back from hongkong!!! i know i promised photos, lots of them! but you'll have to forgive me, i did quite alot of shopping and basically didnt do enough sightseeing.. haha and give me some time to upload them ok?

i bought a lot of things! jeans, skirt, dresses(OMG!! ) and loads of tops!! bought CDs, bags, stuff for my brother, and first time i spent so much at DFS!!!

well, basically the mongkok-jordan-tsim sha tsui area is the best for shopping, i bought things almost anywhere along the streets. now that the sale is on, it's really quite easy to get good tops for cheap prices=) i recommend granville road, nathan road, nu ren jie. streets seem to yield more stuff for me than shopping centres. check out factory outlets too! i got a nice bag at esprit for a very good price!

for food, you could just duck into any cha can ting, or any stalls that appeal. the food is good but have to be careful of some places that cheat money..

basically in hongkong the main mode of travelling is by MTR and walking, so it's advisable to get the octopus card ( which is similar to our ezlink). these 5 days i really walk till legs break. but the location of ymca salisbury is quite good, can get to good shopping areas just by walking. kinda useful for last day last minute shopping. haha

i will try to post photos soon! disappointed though that it rained when i went to the peak.. oh well, another time! =D
