Mongkok Shopping

Quite frankly the best shopping you'll ever experience in your whole lifetime. If I had my way, they would declare Ladies Market the 8th wonder of the world (and everyone would eat ice cream for breakfast, hehe).
Woaw... what on earth is that dreadful smell? Smells like something died from chronic diarrhea and something else came to eat it and spat it out again and ate it again and exploded to form a new planet of it which in turn imploded because it couldn't handle it's own stench..... my point: worst smell I've ever smelled in my entire life. I couldn't walk two steps without having a gag reflex. Finally I turn around just to discover... it's someone's dinner being cooked on the sidewalk. Nice. 
On a lighter note, we had some delicious espresso mocha frappachino. And it was lovely.


I Love Stanley

A Hong Kong wedding car.


Paper dragon!
Honestly, who's going to buy this backpack?

Special sizes for the foreigners, hehehe.
Lunch.
Stanley pier. Ahh bliss!
Bomber jacket dog... does he read VOGUE too?
In Hong Kong I've seen it all. Nothing surprises me anymore, not even a Ferrari Piano.
Dinner: Amaroni's Pizza and cocktails! YUM!
Love the Christmas decor. Splitting Santa. Hahaha!

Star Ferry and Peak Tram

Like a real local, starting the day with a squishy, squishy ride on the MTR.
A stop at the famous Peninsula hotel.
 


A ride across Victoria Harbour on the Star Ferry. Ahh bliss!

The worlds longest outdoor escalator. Why? Nobody knows...


Graham Street Market. As fresh as it gets.

Lunch.


View from the Peak.

Dinner: the best burger in the world.

A visit from the parents

Of course the first thing to do when you visit Hong Kong is a trip on the cable car to Ngong Ping village on Lantau Island.
I love this. Chinese parents asking their only child to pose for a cute, festive picture. One of a thousand pictures the child will pose for on that same day.
And this was lunch.
The king and queen of China. Off with their heads!

Ngong Ping Monastery, where all the monks hang out. Lots of incense, lots of sacrificial fruits and flowers, and looooots of chanting.


No buddhist tour is complete without climbing millions of stairs to rub a buddha belly for good luck. Slinky, slinky, go slinky go!

Beautiful architecture of the ancient Chinese.
And shop till you drop.


Dinner: REAL Chinese take aways. Baked rice with tomato and pork chops with Carlsberg on the side. Yum.
