Hong Kong — crystal jade, harbor, ifc, lan kwai fong, mtr, taxi

Last full day here before my flight tomorrow. Best thing to do? Catch up on all the writing I’ve been putting off. Not a good start given the night of drinking before. I wonder what time we got out of there. I do remember taking the cab back to Kowloon form Lan Kwai Fong. A note to the traveler. Make sure you get a taxi that’s marked for cross harbor travel. Around Central just ask the taxi driver. Otherwise you pay for both ways to the tunnel. I think in my drunken stupor, I found the taxis next to Peddar Street MTR exit. Pretty easy with all the other people getting cabs there.

During the day it was buying all I could buy to take advantage of no taxes and having a little room to bargain. Ok, not quite at the stores I was going to, but cool to find out about certain sales or promotions I wasn’t aware of. This is the city for shopping. Due note that most suits can normally get your suit tailored in 48 hours. A rush job would be an additional $30HKD.

At night we ate at Crystal Jade in the IFC. Another visitor was coming in replacing me as Ali’s guest to show around town. I didn’t mind being replaced. She was much prettier than me and plus, I’ll see him again soon enough.

Full Cup Cafe

Actually not really at Full Cup Cafe. After I left I found out I was on the wrong floor. Full Cup was on the third floor and was much more cozy. Why did I have to find this place in Yau Ma Tei at the end of my trip.

$48HKD Chicken Wings
$30HKD Iced Latte
