I Heart the HK Airport!

December 9th, 2008

I am on a quick business trip to China and I had a three hour layover. Normally this would annoy me to death but not when the layover is at the Hong Kong airport. It is my favorite airport in the world!

I love the architecture of this airport, it reminds me of a quilted sky!

Love the fact that you can really do some serious Duty Free shopping! They have lots of luxury brands represented like Hermes, Prada, Gucci and Cartier. They also have some luxury brands that normally are not represented in Duty Free. They have an extensive Lanvin for Men store that made me just drool! (The blue loafers from last season were 50% off! It took all my strength to walk away from them.) They also have this brand that I adore called Ports. I love that line as it’s so intelligently designed.

I also love the architecture of the airport and the fact that it is so easy to navigate. A major bonus of this airport is the MUJI to go store! Located just after Departure Gate 61, the store is a slice of heaven for those wary of airport shopping. They have so many wonderful products for sale that I was worried that I might miss my flight! I always stock up on their tiny travel vessels and I adore their stationaries and pens! This time I stocked up on some snacks as I was traveling to Wuhan, China! I was not so sure if the carrier called China Southern would have food I liked on board. So I bought some almonds and my fave snack called OSEMBE! (rice crackers wrapped in seaweed! SARAP!)

So happy that Muji to Go was on route to my gate!

More than a thousand lovely products! My friend Cecille Z. calls them wastelands! I have to agree!

Muji to Go... and their manifesto!

Great gift ideas for my Inaanaks!

Organic musical toys! These are sooo Chic!

Christmas decor desk details, good idea for co-workers!
