Cheung Chau

I am a city girl, through and through. However, sometimes a girl (this girl) needs to get away from the busy hectic city that is Hong Kong in order to relax, eat too many snacks, and sweat buckets.

There is something about getting away from the busy streets of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. I suddenly gave zero bothers as to what I was wearing, what state my hair was in, and how much my make-up had melted off my face.

I think my favorite part of the island was that it reminded me so much of Taiwan. The little street vendors with street food, the tent like restaurants, the relaxed lifestyle. It was like Taiwan + pastel colored buildings + bikes + the beach in your back yard. Basically perfection (for maybe a week tops).


They were mean so they had to be killed.

No amount of snow cones could cool us down.

Boats for days.
Smokin'
Because I wouldn't be Taiwanese if I didn't take a selfie. True story. 
And then I realized the three of us didn't have a single photo together. This was the absolute best we could do given that we had just sweat enough to fill a tiny pool.

200 Dollars Poorer

8:36 AM Unknown 2 Comments


Sometimes being forced out of the house is not a bad thing. Unless you are asking my wallet, then it is a very bad thing. 

This morning (also known as 1 in the afternoon), my brother came into my room and tried to convince me to go out and explore the city. The lazy, and slightly dominant, side of me wanted to stay in bed. However it is his week off, and he is always nagging at me to hang out with him, like a little puppy, so how could I say no? I knew going out would involve me spending money that I didn't want or need to spend but I also knew it would mean being active and a normal human being. 

So an afternoon spent in Mong Kok left me a watch, bag, flannel shirt, and cell phone case richer...but 200 HKD poorer. I would say that's a bargain though, and you can't buy a good time spent with your brother (yep, I went there). Family time is priceless...or 200 dollars. If that's not value for money, I don't know what it!
