Hong Kong Hiatus!

February 16th, 2009

My air miles were going to expire, so Nix and I decided to escape for the weekend. Hong Kong has always been an easy getaway for me, since it’s only an hour and a half away and I find the place so convenient. I love the train from the airport to the city. I mean, it takes 12 minutes! All in all, it only takes me a full hour to get out of the airplane and into the city, meaning in less than 3 hours, I feel like I am in another world! LOL!

This being the case, it’s so easy to ask friends to meet up and make the city a virtual playground. After a few emails and several phone calls, my dear friends decided to join us, and we all had a blast!

I love the efficiency of the Hong Kong airport express trains. I think it's the best deal. They even offer free shuttle service to some hotels. You all must try it!

My best buddy Bob who live in Shanghai, decided to join me in HK! Cheers Bob!

Had this yummy pizza at Isola in the IFC mall, love that restaurant! It’s like one of those places that becomes a comfort zone of sorts!

I have this dual image of Hong Kong that it's like part grime and part shine. I like that they have this balance.

Art shot! kuno?!

Met up with one of my favorite travel companions...Robby Carmona! Had a quick dimsum brunch at the Silver Chord mall in Kowloon. I have been coming to this mall for over 15 years! LOL! I like that it has this street/youth vibe in the stores that are here, so it keeps me updated. It also has a really good food court. YUMMERS!
