My trip to Hong Kong was short and sweet. We went at the end of September to celebrate Andy’s birthday. Regrettably I was sick, and was strung out on Nyquil a lot of the time. We did a lot of walking, saw a lot of neon signs, failed in our exploration of the fabric district and ate a ton of noodles. There were paper lanterns everywhere (even at train stations) so we had to buy some for Kiko’s room. Our primary objective of getting many foot massages was accomplished. They were surprisingly painful. We stayed in a place called “Panda Hotel”, which was a fair distance away from downtown. The train system in Hong Kong was pretty good (reminded me of the one in Thailand), less complicated than here in Japan. Overall I really enjoyed the trip, and next time I certainly want to explore the massive fabric district.

As I mentioned earlier last week, I had a chance to visit the fabric district in Hong Kong last month. Here are some photos and video of the place. The video was edited by Andy, which explains the captions..
I referred to the Traveller’s Yarn‘s blog post as a guide. As suggested in the post, I got off at Sham Shui Po station and looked for Ki Lung street. The Hong Kong fabric district is massive! It’s not even comparable to the Nippori fabric district. I hope to visit the place again in the future….not during a national holiday!
Last Week
Sorry for the radio silence last week! I had been sick the past 10 days… I used to never get sick, but now once I catch a cold I can’t seem to get over it easily. I’m not sure what happened! Maybe the pregnancy messed up my system.
Andy and I went to Hong Kong last weekend to celebrate his birthday. That was our first time in HK, and it was great! I wish I was less sick. We took a video at the fabric district. I will post it soon!
