Hong Kong at night

These is how Hong Kong looks at night. Its really beautiful. Hong Kong is actually depressing in the morning because the place is really cloudy and stuff but at night when the building light up, its amazing. There's something very relaxing about it. Oh by the way those are pictures of Victoria Harbor and Causeway Bay (If im not mistaken).


This ship is the Amadea.

The clock tower in the park.



This picture of me was taken by two Chinese people who asked me to take their picture and I said I will if they take a picture of me. Quid pro quo hahaha.






How to get to Mong Kok

Okay so here's a guide on how to get to the Ladies Market in Mong Kok from Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon. Im staying at the Marco Polo hotel in Kowloon so I took the train going to Mong Kok because I dont know how to use the bus and it would cost me a fortune to take a taxi.

Okay so first when you get to the subway, buy your ticket from the machine and that costs $5HK. Go to platform one and wait for the train. Once the train moves, you'll pass by the Jordan Station, the Yau Ma Tei station then after that is the Mong Kok station.

Once you're in the Mongkok station, go out of the D3 exit. Walk for about 2 blocks then turn left and there you'll find the Ladies Market. Thats basically it. If you have a hard time looking for the ladies market, refer to the pictures I posted from when I went to Mong Kok. That should be easier.

Mong Kok at night by myself

I've been hearing from a lot of my friends that Mong Kok is the best place to shop in Hong Kong because you can get a bargain on everything. So I told myself that before I leave Hong Kong I HAVE TO GO TO MONG KOK. And I did. I took the train, got off the Mong Kok station then went to the Ladies Market. I dont know why they call it the Ladies Market because you can buy everything there. Gadgets, clothes, toys, bags, shoes, everything for men and women and they're all cheap. Plus you can haggle to lower the price.

I went there alone and I stayed there for a couple of hours shopping and just enjoying the fact that I was able to go to Mong Kok alone. hahaha.









Here's something interesting. They sell those sexy lingerie for men and women. I suggest you click on the picture below, once it loads, take a good look at it and you'll find it really funny.

I saw these and I was dying to buy a 6x6 and 7x7 cube but it was too expensive and even when they lowered the price it was still expensive. I swear to God the next time I go to Hong Kong I am buying those cubes.



I had a snack here. There sell all kinds of dimsum. Yum!

I bought this shirt for $50HK. It was originally $90HK but I was able to knock 30 off. I think its nice. Do you think it looks good on me?

Anyway, I had loads of fun in Mong Kok. Now I know why my friends are raving about it. The next time I go to Hong Kong I am going back to Mong Kok and I am gonna shop like crazy. Now all I need is a high paying job to make this come true. Hahaha. Everything here is cheap so as long as you have lets say $500HK you'll be able to buy a bucket load of stuff. Oh and you can smoke while walking around the ladies market. Just sharing. LOL.

Ocean Park Hong Kong

These are pictures during my trip to Ocean Park Hong Kong. It was my first time in Ocean Park. I haven't even been to the one thats in the Philippines.

So here's part of the map LOL.

This was the tour guide. He spoke in a really funny british accent. I swear to God he sound slike Rowan Atkinson when he talks. But he's really friendly and made a lot of jokes when we were on our way to Ocean Park.



In the Cable car with my Mom.
Was I on something? I look high. I'm scared of heights so I was really scared because the damn cable car is a 15 minute ride hahaha.








The performers at Sky Fair. They're really good.





They sell REAL corndogs!!! Its been 5 years since I had a real corndog so I had these for lunch.



Inside the Atoll Reef. It was amazing. It felt like I was inside a submarine and I can see everything thats happening underwater.





This was the Panda and he was mooning us hahaha.

Now there ya go. The panda.

A lot of people dont know this but I really really really like pandas.




Well I had a lot of fun at Ocean Park and I would really love to go back there someday. It was an amazing experience plus I got to see a real panda. Yey me.
