Hong Kong Hong Kong Day 1 - Victoria Harbour & Hollywood Avenue

It's been a year since my Goddess travelled. To take a good break and reward herself and the Horny Devil for the year of hard work that they have done, the 2 of them left for HK on 091008.

The Horny Devil's trademark run at the airport

Their flight was at 0640, so they had to reach the airport by 0440. And the both of them were working the night before, my Goddess till 8.30pm. So the both of them only had the night to pack and no time to sleep.

By the time they reached the airport and checked in, they were super hungry.

And super tired.

After 5 hours of flight, they finally reached HK!

And the HK apartments, though similar to our high-rise flats, are super packed! I wonder how many people are actually housed here.

Cute flat trams

Their hotel

After checking in, the 2 of them went for a quick lunch at a 茶餐厅 just opposite their hotel.

And they are all ready to explore Hong Kong!

And the first stop - Causeway Bay, HK's shopping district, aka Orchard Road.

And guess what they found at Times Square? Krispy Kreme! It was such a pleasant surprise. Reminded them of their good ole' time at the States.

There was a really interesting gift shop at Times Square. They had a lot of quirk stuff including this potted plant.

The interesting streets of HK

And my Goddess was lucky enough to witness a HK star, Gem Tang. Don't know who she is though, but just take pictures nevertheless, just like the times in LA Hollywood. At least you can go around telling people you have seen a star.

Next they went to the famous Tsim Sha Tsui to get to the hot tourist spot Victoria Harbour.

But before that, some shopping first at the Espirit Factory Outlet.

And the Victoria Harbour is really a hot spot, even though it was a week day. Everyone was there way before 8pm to grab a good spot to catch the light show.

Next stop, Hollywood Avenue, just next to Victoria Harbour.

Unfortunately, in comparison to Hollywood Boulevard, this Hollywood Avenue is not as exciting. Perhaps they didn't know most of the Chinese celebrities listed down on the floor.

Famished after all the walking, they stopped at another 茶餐厅 for dinner. They had a yummilicious bowl of 鱼蛋河.

And finally to end the night off, more shopping at one of their night markets, Stanley Market. It was a little disappointing though as they had more imitation goods than anything there. Even Bangkok's night market are so much better.

And the ended at 12plus am for them. What a tiring day as they were walking the whole day.
