Weekly Roundup : April 1 - 7

It’s been an amazing week!

We moved from San Francisco to Hong Kong! Enjoyed reading this article in South China Morning Post regarding living in Hong Kong. But also, i can totally see the point of view of this post right here.

Explored:

  • Golden Arcade in Shan Shui Po for everything computers! We’ve been told to go here for reasonably priced electronics and computers.

  • Mong Kok neighborhood for flower and bird markets.

  • Shim Sha Tsui for our first shabu-shabu! We didn’t really know what we were doing at the restaurant and it was really fun to try and figure it out! Here is an article i read afterwords about how to eat shabu-shabu.

  • Found a Mexican joint and some other great restaurants in Mid Levels.

  • Took the famous Mid Levels Escalators, which are a pretty unique way of transporting thousands of people in the surrounding areas.

Shopping is a big part of the culture here! It is very interesting to see that significant amount of people shop…a lot of luxury brands! I have not seen this type of shopping culture anywhere else in the world including places like Paris and New York. Here are some articles I’ve enjoyed about this subject:

Lastly, You can find some pics on my Hong Kong Instagram account!

Hope everyone had a great productive week!
