Hongkong Day 1 - Mongkok

Start of our Year end overseas trip - Hong Kong!

The boys managed well on the plane without any air motion sickness pills this time round. We bought the airport express tickets in advance via Klook at a discounted price. Klook has few great prices to make use if you can decide your itinerary in advance.

On our way to hotel,  we took a airport shuttle bus and checked into the room earlier than the stipulated 3pm timeline.


We decided to explore Mongkok on the first day.  I checked out the highly recommended Aryle center which I read up prior to the trip. It was quite a disappointment because most of the clothes were of lower grade quality and can't be tried on.  We love one of the bubble tea stores on level 3 though :)

At Top building in Mongkok, this is where Ethan set his eyes on the plush toy..


Brought the boys to walk around Ladies market. One of the rare occasions they get to shop at a street market. They spent their allocated budgets for Fortnite keychains and I bought myself a small Hello Kitty pouch. One of the nights,  we came back here to get a backpack for Ethan ($14!).



Since sneakers street (Fa Yuen street) is nearby , we checked out the shops and bought a pair of Adidas shoes for Caden's school use next year.  Subsequently , we realised that the shoes in city gate outlets were cheaper if you are not fussed about the model/season of the shoes.
