I’m back in Japan <3!! Well i got back yesterday but since i am trying to finish my hongkong posts..today’s post is still on Hongkong. XD
One of my fave things to do when i visit a new country is to go to their local supermarket! So when F-san offered to take me to somewhere slightly less touristy with a local-ish supermarket..i jumped at the chance!
Here’s the train map
TsingYi is one the far left of the picture..it got cut off..sorry hahahaha
The train line i took
Yah it goes towards Disneyland Resort [sorta...u have to change to another train]
We got there in no time <3
Its not huge but there are about 4 levels….
There was an exhibition of sorts
You had to pay admission to go in the exhibition/playground so we took a photo from the top level hahahahahaha
on the other side, the whole basement was a dimsum restaurant
We decided to have beef pho instead at a thai/vietnamese restaurant..it was really good and cheap [set meal including drink and appetizer was only 32HKD which is around 4USD] <– i guess its true that things are cheaper when not in tourist areas
Some of the random things i bought…
Jamila raves about these so i had to give them a try [68HKD each..around USD8.50]
And this is one of my purchases from the supermarket..called TASTE…
I ran out of my HG Biore makeup remover wipes and wanted to buy more but i couldnt find it. I didnt want to buy the Biore cleansing oil as it is sold in Japan so i opted for this gel instead.
Uh but on closer inspection now….
Yah its made in Japan hahahaha [i swear i never noticed this in Japan before] <– ok its true i dont buy a lot of Biore in Japan so i guess i dont look as closely.
And as usual i have a random CD purchase whenever i visit a new country…
Oh and as an added bonus XD I also visited Shatin’s New Town Plaza as it was connected to the first hotel i stayed at when in Hongkong
Here are two photos from it
Thanks for reading!

Those shopping centers are really pretty. They remind me of the ones in the Philippines.

Hi Yumeko~ loving your vacation posts.
The CD you bought is a Taiwanese singer who sings in Mandarin. She is a great artist and I love her. ^^

Shoot! That doesn’t look small! That place looks HUGE. I’m so jealous of all your trips and adventures. Miss you!!
hey,
your pictures brings back memories for me taking the MTR in HK. Love the convenience of the Octopus card, since Toronto’s transit system sucks!!!!
I just wanted to ask you if you can recommend a few bb creams i should look out for in Korea. I have oily skin. I’ll be in South Korea Aug5 for 5 days. Trying to make a shopping list of things to buy =)
take care.
