i heart hongkong

2.14.2011 - 2.17.2011

It was Valentine's day, me and my sister left for Hongkong to tour [and shop **of course!!]

yes, this is Cebu Pacific Manila boarding pass printed on super cheap paper
and even tape receipts have better quality **not dissing, I'm just saying ;)

We have now officially arrived Hongkong


Waiting for the airport tram to immigration and baggage claim


You will never get lost because signs are everywhere and written in both English and Chinese



Now falling in line at the immigration



And because Hongkong is so much into designer labels..

airport clocks are Rolex ;)
You'll definitely need these to get around..

a map and an octopus card
Hongkong money

the many faces of their HK$100
and their other dollar bills
At a mall at the Tsing Yi MTR stop..

giant iPhone
The City Gate outlet mall in Tung Chung..

Inside Taste grocery store we discovered all these cute finds..


Aji Ichiban store

I remember when I used to love Esprit but you can rarely find a store in the US so I was really happy to see Esprit and even happier that they have an outlet store here in Hongkong.


To go to the avenue of stars Tsim Sha Tsui station is where you get off from the MTR.


And towards there you will walk by these nice chinese lantern display..


The avenue of stars is like the US Hollywood's walk of fame, but here the only celebrity I actually know is Jackie Chan. We just enjoyed the sight from the waterfront.


Then it was shopping time [which is by the way my favorite thing]..
first stop Jordan

Temple Street night market

their subway [MTR] is just like our very own MRT
Next stop was Mong Kok


Ladies Market in Tung Choi Street was a great place to shop for souvenirs. I totally enjoyed all that haggling..


Around the corner, next street is Sai Yeung Choi street lined with clothing stores.
