I told myself that I needed to relax, unwind, and enjoy.
So much for work and the daily grind, so finally after
a long time I decided to pack up my things, head to
the airport, and fly to Hong Kong! (Of course, I booked my
plane ticket and hotel room earlier -- I was all set for a
holiday for four days and three nights. It was so exciting!)
I brought mostly dresses and
jumpsuits. They’re very comfortable
to wear and light to
carry. I decided to wear flats as
there would be a lot of walking.
I used a medium shoulder bag
to put in my passport, wallet,
map, and lipstick.
Staying at a hotel near Nathan
Road, Hong Kong’s shopping
capital, I just wished to shop
till I drop. At Isquare I found
a shop where I got clothes,
bag, shoes, and accesories for
just HK$50. Speaking a few
Chinese terms, I was able to
ask for discounts and get good
deals. I made sure to shop at
K11 Mall for signature bags
and kikay stuff. I bought some
makeup since Hong Kong is
known for organic cosmetics
that are healthy for the skin.
Hong Kong’s fashion style didn’t
differ much from South Korea’s.
They love bright, colorful
fabrics.
Yes, I went to Disneyland!
When I saw Mickey I couldn’t
stop myself from hugging him. I
was ecstatic and felt like a kid
again. I also bumped into Minnie
Mouse, Goofy, Winnie the
Pooh, and lots more. Disneyland
is too big to visit just for
one day, so it helped that I took
the train ride to see the whole
place.
One evening I went to Victoria
Harbour, fascinated by the
spectacular waterfront view.
Tall buildings, colorful lights,
and boats crowd the bay. It was
a sight to behold.
Even late at night, I felt so
safe walking around. Everyone
seemed to think only of food,
partying, or shopping, or all
three.
I HAD A GREAT TIME. I was
able to relax, had a shop-therapy,
see new places, and enjoy
Hong Kong hands down. I’d
definitely go back again! GG
