Day 5

We have come to the conclusion of my short adventures in Hong Kong! It's been my third time traveling to this wonderful country, and it never disappoints! To begin this last morning, we had brunch at a cafe to fill up before heading for the airport. Long queues gave us the impression Urban Cafe Commune was worth stopping by, and I believe the following photos and multiple 'mmmm' moments can attest to that. 

"Call __________ for a good time" ;-)

Burger with a Korean twist, herb crusted roast chicken, coffee, and iced peach tea - this is the life. And that wraps up my trip in Hong Kong! Thank you for reading, and I hope 2015 brings new adventures for you all. Please feel free to comment! :-) As promised, my next post will be something a bit different, so hopefully you enjoy that as well.  - Justine

A thick layer of clouds

The majority of the first day was your average traveler's routine - head for the airport, browse the products at Duty Free, board the plane, watch a couple of movies (like the amazing Mazerunner film) and take a couple of plane pics, before finally reaching your destination. 



The real highlight of my first day in Hong Kong was the night market! The one we visited was located at Fa Yuen street, and the entire stretch was lined with a multitude of little stalls offering shoppers with a wide selection phone cases, backpacks, shoes, and the likes. In the end, I was able to purchase a new set of pajamas, a backpack for traveling and a cream-colored boo, all with some bargaining.

The overall vibe of the market was incredible; standing on the walkways, I could feel the pulse of the streets beneath me (and it was a great photo spot). Hong Kong definitely has its own identity; from the array of overhanging neon signs to the tall, boxy apartments, I very much enjoyed my travels to this country. 



Another highlight of the day was trying peking duck for the first time! Despite living in Asia, I've never tried the dish, but it turns out it's super yummy :-)

Note: major lack of food pics; like any other starving traveler, plane food was not enough to sustain me after a long day's worth of journeying, so I ditched the camera for a pair of chopsticks.
