Lyn is in HK and I am very jealous of the all the food, cheap shopping and sightseeing she must be doing.
She inboxed me on FB and practically wrote an essay. Most of the places she mentioned are spots that Ant and I went to during our honeymoon there...
Lyn is staying with her friend's family in Yau Ma Tei (coincidentally, this is where Ant and I stayed as well!). This is what she has to say;
The apartment is decent size. Has a small kitchen (but we are never in it except to use the fridge and the washing machine.
Has a lounge and dining area with tv. 2 bedrooms (potentially sleeps 5 people, 6 if someone uses the couch) and a bathroom.
Its right near Yau Ma Tei station.
HK is AMAZING! I would def come back.
I've done some shopping, DisneyLand yesterday. Shenzhen, China - we just went to the shopping centre, that was it. I bought a mustard mulberry bag and a rado watch. All fake of course. Spent about $100 Aussie - which im content with. And yes i bargained! HEAPS!
They initially wanted 750rmb for the bag and i got it for $350.
And the watch they originally wanted 680, i got that one done to 350 too!
They make you feel so bad though, they are all like, OH IM LOSING MONEY HERE. *eye roll* As if!
China was pretty stinky though, the shopping centre smelt like a bar! And it was like a labyrinth of shops!
Also, had Chinese Yum Cha. I tried Chicken feet & congeeled pigs blood! (Which was recently mentioned in the Wudang book im reading!)
Then we got the first class carriage mtr back. Quickly back to the apartment and then went to the Peak (at night). Was pretty.
Would be nice to see all the greenery in the day time though (maybe next time i come here!) but the lights are magnificent!
Tomorrow I will be alone during the day. My plans are to go to Bird market in the morning (as its open from 7am - which is good cos i feel like the morning is wasted here).
Then i will mtr it to Central and go up the escalators to Soho, do some more shopping (particularly H+Ms in Central). Then around 2pm-ish meet up with everyone again and going to Mongkok to look at another H+M in Langham place, plus their other branch/line Monki.
Then to the sneaker street, as i want some converse shoes!
Tomorrow is my last day as i leave mid-day on Friday.
Anything u particularly want?
Such a silly question! I want everything of course!
