For my only full day in Hong Kong, I had a few hours to myself in the morning. I started off by going to the post office to mail off a parcel. Hong Kong is probably the only place outside of Canada where it’s easy for me to run errands. I love being able to get things done like a local and I feel like I can maximize my time doing other things when I\u2019m allowed to be productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was around 10:00am by the time I finished, so I hopped on the MTR to Central. I decided to explore the mid-level escalators and I was happy I made it all the way up to Victoria Prison, commonly known as Tai Kwun. Tai Kwun has been redeveloped into a cultural and shopping destination and a lot of art exhibitions are held inside the heritage buildings. It was nice stumbling upon it as it was also free entry inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After my stop there I went over to Lan Fong Yuen to buy their iconic iced milk tea. I had wanted to get their french toast as well, but I needed to save my appetite as I had lunch plans right after. I did pop into a souvenir shop selling a lot of cute HK charms and magnets, so I bought a few to bring back with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took the MTR to Causeway Bay afterwards to go for Chiu Chow style dim sum. Then I made a special stop over to the Bakehouse location in CWB to get their famous sourdough egg tarts. I could have eaten half a dozen by myself, but I had to restrain to make sure I didn’t overeat. My last stop that day was to Cityplaza in Tai Koo, where I walked into a hair salon without an appointment to see if I could get a haircut. It was nice being pampered for an hour and I also got to finish my shopping inside the mall.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For dinner that evening we went over to Siu Sai Wan for hotpot at Mou Mou. The last time I was there I ate way too much and was bedridden the following day with the worst case of indigestion. As I was flying back the next day, I made sure to keep it light and ate a respectful amount for AYCE hotpot.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next morning I woke up at 6:00am and got ready to go to the airport. My uncle took a taxi out with me to Central for their in-town check-in, which was super convenient as I was able to drop off both suitcases at the Cathay counter. Then I took the train by myself to the airport, where I spent my last $61 on breakfast at Man Wah. The flight back was fine, although there was a huge gap between the two meal services that I had\u00a0to keep asking for snacks in between. This was probably because I was tired and jet-lagged and needed fuel to keep going.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall this was such a whirlwind trip \u2013 I never would have imagined making it all the way to Australia. It’s crazy thinking how many hours I spent in the air. Even though I kept my schedule light with only one main activity a day, it was still ambitious given all the things that could have gone wrong. However I’m happy I got to spend time with family and explore an entirely new continent. Just next time, I won\u2019t do it in under two weeks. =P<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
