HK shopping ... Eating ...

Labeled as one of Asia's fashion leaders, Hong Kong's retail outlets display an array of international designer labels as well as popular local brand names like Giordano and G2000 - both popular amongst teenagers and working adults in HK and also Singapore.

Flashy billboards line up the streets in different sizes seducing passers-by to take another look at the model actress donning the latest designs. The city's vibrant lifestyle revolves around the four seasons as it is every opportunity to allow the people to have a change of wardrobe every couple of months.

Food is another attraction in HK. A wide variety of restaurants and cafes serve cuisine of all sorts. From the local wanton noodles and BBQ goose meat rice to Portuguese tarts and German sausages. In HK, one can never stay hungry long.

Pubs and clubs are also happening places to hangout at night. From Lan Kwai Fong to SOHO, HK establishes itself as a metropolitan city. On every traffic intersection, one can see different races and nationalities. Its surely a nice place to make friends from different parts of the word.

So have I painted a beautiful picture of HK? I guess I might have done a good job doing so but of course like everything else, there's also an ugly side. Right now, I shall stay silent for fear of being slapped in the face by my many HK cousins and friends. You know la, people in HK are fierce, violent and sometimes overly proud. Oops, I did it again.
