Hello!
It's sorta unusual for me(or any student) to be going to Hong Kong at a time like August where exams and everyone's pretty much in a rush to finish their requirements for the preliminaries.
 |
| Awkward Face: On. |
 |
| On our way to get a cab |
I love their system. They make it easy to understand and convenient for the people.
For example, you're planning to take a cab to go somewhere. You just need to refer to the board for the taxis on whether which color of cab you should take ( Blue, Red, Green). The color-coded cars make it sooo much easier for everyone living there or even just first time visitors. If you're not sure, there's always an info person waiting there willing to help you.
 |
| We took the red cabs which goes to Causeway Bay. |
 |
| A line so you won't have to fight for one. See so orderly.:)) |
 |
| My attempt to take pictures of infrastructures LOL I really don't care about the building. |
 |
| Not so bad for an iPhone camera plus taken on a moving taxi! :D |
 |
| Ever so present Sasa. I wish they would open Sasa stores in the Philippines. |
 |
| Eeeeep! Our(siblings) weakness, Haagen Dazs Green Tea Sandwich. No matter what the weather would be like:HOT OR COLD. We'd still buy everytime we go to any convenience store. (Proven when we went to Korea earlier this year when it was around -12C) Why can't we have these selections here? |
 |
| When you're in East asian countries, expect to have a lot of green tea (Matcha) flavored whatever. But don't buy this pocky green tea mousse, it's not good. |
 |
| MY FAVORITE! I especially love the butter flavor.. No such luck finding one here:( |
And so after leaving our things with the concierge, we head out to ifc mall :D
 |
| Ifc Mall |
 |
| View on the inside. The previous photo with the ifc sign outside actually looks like this on the inside. ^-^ |
I was actually semi-running already at this point. LOL IT WAS SOOOO HOTTTT and I didn't put enough sunblock on my body and by enough I mean a whole bottle of it :))
No exaggeration. It was like Philippine summer weather, I don't even walk outside when I'm in Manila so really it was too hot for me. I was laughed at by my sister for hiding and running from one shade to another. -_-
We had a late lunch. I don't mind as long as it's in Tim Ho Hwan. MUST TRY.
Directions: When you get to ifc mall's ground floor go one floor down via escalator and turn right to a small walkway then you'll see subway and elevators, right across you'll see this:
One might wonder why it's still full of people when I clearly said "Late lunch" (around 3pm already) \. Well after you've tried eating their BBQ pork buns, you won't wonder why anymore.
Seriously, anytime ANYTIME. There will always be a long line.
