How can the Louis Vuitton store be so close to the ghetto!?

Today my aunt was ditching us for lunch so we had to get by on our own. Good thing for us, Leo suggested a good place to eat in the K-11 Mall. This place was called Hana and it was the best 98 HKD I've sent on food yet.



Mandy got the eel rice, but my dish was obviously more delicious. But you be the judge:




Afterwards, we went to check out Tsim Sha Shiu. The sketchiest place there is a place called Chungking Mansion. We walked a circle around, but Mandy was already super sketched out going there and for good reasons. You can stay there for 100 HKD per night, but obviously you get what you paid for. Don't believe me? Google the hotel and see what previous tenants have said about it... Ironically, it is less than a block away from the most expensive hotel in HK (Peninsula, 1 night is $1500 for the cheapest room and there is an option to ride the Rolls Royce back to the airport on checkout for an additional $1500 HKD). Also it is steps away from Louis V and Gucci and all that other baller stuff.

We also did some museum hopping (museums are free on Wednesday). The space museum is horribly outdated and none of the exhibits even worked. The science museum was in much better shape. The coolest exhibit was the optical illusion exhibit. However, the ROM in Toronto is still significantly better.

Anyways, packed at night and is going to Beijing. In Beijing, the censors will be preventing us from updating so expect a longer post in about a week. Gonna get in touch with the asianess in me!!!
