Shopping in Causeway Bay

After such a crazy Saturday it was nice to sleep in. I woke up about 11 and tried to write down a bit of my memory before it all disappears. I have been blogging into a text document because I don't have online access. I try to upload entries when I can but so far I am so far behind. Hopefully I can spend a little time each night to catch up a little bit. I had a relaxing morning and planned to go out by myself. Erine and Phoebe had plans with family so they were ditching me in Wan Chai at some wedding convention held at the convention centre. I decided to not follow them inside and with a little help I found my way out back onto the main road. I walked along the road until I was under the Sogo sign.

Because it was the weekend, the streets were full yet again. I waited for Patsy and her friend Ada for a little while until they called. It was so classic the entrance was located on the corner and I happen to be standing on one side of the corner and they were standing on the other side, both of us looking around for each other. Ada took us around shopping, Patsy was first out of the gate looking up rings and shoes. The shoes selection in Hong Kong is really good, there is so much selection here, we found some interesting styles. We stopped by a shop called Hiroshima which sells "Japanese" handbags. We were looking around and they did not have stock of a particular colour of a certain bag. But since Patsy was going to Japan it didn't matter she would look for it there. The sales lady told us that the style we were looking at is only avaliable in Hong Kong. How strange! We went through a couple more interesting fun stores and the girls managed to help me pick a stylish dress shirt ($250 HKD) and a nice golf shirt ($100 HKD).

I'm off to a good start, Patsy is suppose to show me around Mong Kok tomorrow so hopefully I won't get cheated again. Patsy got picked up later by her cousin and Ada showed me to Time Square before leaving me to go home. I wandered Time Square for a while and the surrounding area. I ended up eating in a Chinese/Japanese style ramen noodle house. It looked like a chain, and it seemed clean, I wasn't in the right mood to take a risk since I haven't been reacting well to the food so far.

All in all it was a fun and successful day off. Thanks Ada and Patsy!
