Honkers 09

A long awaited break. I decided a familiar location would be the easiest route, seeing as Our Friend prefers to leave all the planning and control operations to me. Plus, the lure of easy availability of much shopping and eating could not be discounted...heh heh.
Old Hong Kong - Fa Yuen Street. We were in search of sports equipment amongst the grey, packed buildings.
New Hong Kong - en route to Hong Kong Station for our ride to the airport, for the flight home. Busy busy bee...The constant buzzing energy of Hong Kong.
The cityscape, with its edges blurred out by fog and rain. Pity about the constant bad weather there, but it also yielded us some good bargains. Vendors were far more amenable to price negotiation due to the lack of "hardy" (or gullible) tourists like us, out braving the weather!
Didn't get the chance to wander through all the "oldies but goodies" pre-loved (some of it, for decades or centuries) stuff in Cat Street. Shame. Perhaps it was just as well, since the luggage was packed to the brim, even with my excellent packing skills... :) 

And now that Our Friend has discovered the many "wonders" of Hong Kong (chiefly, it's shopability), it ranks pretty high on the list of "Places to Visit Regularly". 

Hai kum seen! Mm hai, mieh ah! :D
