Hong Kong with ddarlingggg! reviews and recommendations

Bustling Hong kong
Things I like about HK: Retail therapy and feasting. The streets and cheap prices and bargains.
Things I don't like about HK: The bad air and shit ass services and Disneyland.

We had our journey well planned before conquering Hong Kong. It's something like this:




Because hong kong is a famous travellers country, especially for food and shopping, I was able to get pretty much reviews and recommendations of the places to go. Things were even better with the help of my friends from hong kong! :) Indeed, just as expected..... IT WAS AN EYE OPENER.

We covered: Tsim Sha Tsui, Mongkok, Central and Causeway bay in 5 days (I bold the 2 cos the both of us found it exceptionally nice to shop over there)
Transport used: MTR and 2 trips of taxis
The MTR in HK is as easy to use as the one we've in Singapore. The best thing about this is that, once you get down from the MTR you can already get your feet to start shopping because the streets are located like right beside the MTR?! It's really convenient and totally not confusing at all. (Especially when I have a walking navigator with me :D a.k.a doreen sia)

We checked into Kimberly Hotel. It was a pretty small room we shared, but it's alright... because that's not really the main thing about HK. haha my dad even asked me, does your hotel has windows? because in some of the HK hotels, you don't get windows.. no ventilation EEEEK. the first day when we settled our luggage, it was about 420pm already. We went back to our hotel at about 1030pm? And within that mere 6 hours, we had baked pork chop rice, beef noodle, egg hor fun, french toast, two bowls of desserts and gelato. HAHA. This was the start of our gluttony act HAAAA.

It wasn't that bad because we didn't finish our food at all. All thanks to me.
