I love my hotel. It's a perfect location and halfway point between TST and Mong Kok. It's right on Nathan Road, one of the main streets on Kowloon side. It is also located near the Jordan exit so if you're taking the MTR it becomes real convenient.
You can take a tour and view this country's sights in many different ways but I took the MTR system like a regular local and found it to be fast, safe, and inexpensive to get around to Hong Kong Island from Kowloon.
I took the tram ride and went to The Peak where you can see breathtaking views of the city's skyline.
I even went all the way to the Central District and walked the streets of Hong Kong and got to visit the hustle and bustle of this side of town. Shopping along Queen Street and feeling the diversity of locals, foreigners, exchange students and overseas workers was a very fun part of my trip.

Hong Kong offers many themed shopping roads such as Tung Choi St. which is the
Ladies Market in Mongkok,
Temple St., the night market known as the Men's Street;
Sai Yeung Choi St. which carries electronics and gadgets along with cosmetics and various boutiques and the list can go on and on.
But one area that I hold dear to my heart is
Granville Road located on the Kowloon side in Tsim Sha Tsui, or TST, where you can find cute women's clothing, shoes, and accessories. This is definitely a main street I hit up every time I come here and it's fun to shop, admire and people watch the fashionable chicks strolling along.
Nathan Road is the main street that carries various shops and
Harbour City is a must see spot that has a wide variety of fashion and trendy brands making it a one stop shopping experience. This place is a shoppers paradise and after a long day of shopping, enjoy the
"Symphony of Lights", that takes place each night at 8pm of an orchestrated light and laser show of the city's impressive skyline.

- 15 hours to get to a shoppers paradise is definitely worth the travel time
- an extra empty luggage is a necessity for major purchases
- leggings can be played out- but i'm all about comfort when it comes to traveling
- my purse is large enough to fit snacks, an extra sweater, scarf, travelling documents etc.
- thank god my flexibility and short height finally came in handy- i can curl up perfectly into a seat on economy class and fall straight asleep with no problem..
- ahh the many joys of being short for once! Hong Kong, here I come :)
