Hong Kong Day 2 | Lost in HK

Wanderlust March 29, 2019 0

Second day was our busiest day. Or so I think. We kind of put everything we want to see on the second day because we don't have any more time as we have Disneyland and Ocean Park for our coming days.

breakfast

We started here because it was conveniently near from where we live.

The park was a nice touch to our itinerary

I also made it a point to find our good old friend Bruce Lee's statue. It was hella hard to find from where we started. Also found some fun statues to take pictures with. Just look at my sisters being silly.

We went to Sham Shui Po to supposedly sample the handmade bamboo noodles but we found this. Also something Mark Wiens recommended. We were supposed to skip this but the gentleman we were sitting with asked we try and that's how we know this is the deal.

We were then headed to Mongkok riding a double decker bus. We were so happy that we completely disregarded our surroundings.

The next thing we know, we were already an hour and a half away from the city. Man, that was an adventure!

MONGKOK

YUMMY

Instagrammable. I'm glad my local friends showed us around because our newbie selves cannot handle it.

We ended our night with this filling meal and this picture. That's all!

Hong Kong Day 1 | Arrival Day

Wanderlust March 28, 2019 0

Hello, Hong Kong. It's my first time for a ver long time. I'm so glad I went with my sisters because I'm positive it wouldn't be so nice alone. I guess it's that kind of place.

Airport

Can I just say that I'm glad we went on our own and not made land arrangements because we probably wouldn't be able to use it. Or how does that work?

It was so foggy when we arrived and it really added character to the city. It was awesome! This is actually a shot from a random building in Hong Kong when we were kind of lost.

My sisters adulting. This is one purpose of our visit actually. To teach my sisters how to adult! Also, DISNEY, duh. Also, everything!

Yes.

Looking delicious! We were so close to buying some of these but I remember my friends saying that they may look good but they don't taste as good. Generally speaking.

A picture a sweet lady took in exchange of us taking theirs.

Our neighborhood is acually very interesting. I'm kind of okay with us having to live there for 5 days. Sure I kind of want to live elsewhere next time but yeah.

First proper meal in HK

After meal, we went to Victoria Harbour, took pictures, then went home.

TEA BEFORE HOME

I just came to know that this is a popular brand to get tea from but it was actually not over the top. The tea shop I got my second milk tea from was nicer.

Our first day was kind of a mess. It rained for quite a while at night and we didn't have a choice but to go to the HARBOUR anyway because we don't have another time available to watch the light show. LUCKILY, it stopped just about a minute before the show started. We enjoyed the light show! It was free, bright, and colorful! That's all!
