Finally, after almost a week of sneezing and coughing, I'm a little better. Yes, just a little. At least enough to get back to work.
Before I begin, it's been raining cats and dogs here in Manila, and I just want to hope that everyone out there is safe and stays safe! Pray for the safety of everyone!
Bird's eye view of Manila from the plane. I love you Manila, but what is with this city planning? |
I will never get tired of Hong Kong! There's always another street to explore, another store to enter, another Chinese restaurant to try, and out of this world fashion from the locals that will make you feel like you're in some fashion show.
Super cute store by Hankow Road. Not my style, but look at those cute outfits for little girls! Even children's clothes are cute and chic. |
Here's a quick rundown on my spontaneous trip to Hong Kong :)
I arrived at Hong Kong a little earlier than my family (they were coming from the US, and I was coming from Manila, so I was just going to meet them there), so I decided to walk around a bit and take a few pictures before I had to meet up with them.
City Super has got to be one of my favorite places ever! A grocery + beauty shop + random items store = me getting lost in there for HOURS! I honestly feel like they have everything!
I went around the "Pets" section and I found these really cute squeaky toys for pets. I found some of them hilarious! Specifically the grenades (which I really wanted to buy, but I didn't want to condition my dog into thinking that it's okay to chase after grenades), and the Warriors doing the thumbs up (this was overpriced though, so no toy for my puppy this time).
Then I decided to grab a quick dinner at the food court in Harbour City, namely at Green Thai Express, which, I kid you not, serves the best Hainanese Chicken dish for about only HK$50! If you're planning to try it out, the item is called "Chicken Rice". I'm sure there are better ones out there, but this is my personal favorite.
After, it was off to shopping and exploring!
They had a couple of art exhibits around Ocean Terminal and some sort of Crocs life-sized board game.
More magazines! Thanks to my friend Gine who was sort of my tour guide for the trip and who recommended this magazine to me. From what I can tell, it's sort of like a catalog of sorts. I love it! It's definitely great for inspiration! Check her out! She's also a really great photographer! -- http://fotosurge.tumblr.com/
The flight home was actually really great! The plane was pretty much EMPTY, so I was able to have an entire row to myself (thank God those arm rests were moveable!) and steal pillows from almost every seat! :)
And thus ends my Hong Kong trip. I'll post my street shots in a couple of days (if not tomorrow), and also my SCAD photos. Yes, Savannah College of Art and Design has a Hong Kong campus and it's gorgeous!
See you in December HK! :)

great photos looks like you really enjoyed yourself! i agree a bit with the ferragamo show only thing is that i've been so disappointed by many of the runway shows to me it was the only half decent one compared to the others, so sad but true
