Shops and Shopping

When visiting other countries or provinces, it has been one of the many activities that people do: to SHOP for souvenir items that will remind them of their stay in that particular place. Also it has been our custom to bring back goodies to our family and friends.


I am not exempted from that custom.
As I shop around, I also took pictures of anything that I may not buy.


...well, i didn't took pictures of the things I bought (I think).



Duty Free or Free Duty?

This is inside HKIA Terminal 1 between gates 41-50
wall scrolls and paintings along Ladies Market, Mongkok

Aside from personal goods, pet accessories, toys and treats are also available here


Stuff toys, clothes, etc. in Ocean Park. Didn't get a chance to buy a souvenir shirt coz size of the design i liked was out of stock.


Slippers and other goodies...

How about a panda bear?


paintings and portraits along Victoria Harbour...

Ah, my mother rummaging through the silk pillowcases in one of the shops at The Peak.

Aren't theses japanese dolls?
(don't mind the inscription at the bottom. it's for the items at the bottom of the shelf)

and more of these dolls...

and more.


Chess set. Grab this one if you have the budget.

or this set for a more comical appeal.
Aside from such a nice display, of course you can actually play chess here.


or these figurines? Just make sure you wrap them so that i will not break when you get back home.

shirts for HK$35 each or 3 for HK$100...

(there's a cheaper place where you can get 5 per HK$100.
Those blouses are actually pricey.)

framed items and jars: Can you take them home with you without excess baggage?
You can also find these tags or signs that are sometimes amusing when translated.
And if you are into kink stuff like these costumes and novelty items, you can also find these here.

Bags, shirts, blouses and more for a cheaper price

5 shirts per HK$100, so desu yo!

Aside from these shops, there are thousands of places where you can shop. Sometimes
some items can only be found in a specific store or location, sometimes it can be found everywhere. But when shopping, shop smart so that you can get the best value.
