Hong Kong November 2013

E and I have been so stressed lately that we decided to take a break for the long weekend in November. Our happy place has always been Hong Kong.  We went on the first  Cathay Pacific flight at 5:10AM.  We tried the Cathay Pacific Lounge for the first time and we didn't like it.  The Miascor lounge is much much better.

We arrived in Hong Kong at around 7:00AM and were on the Airport Express within an hour:

Excited even if it was soooooooo early in the morning.

 Upon arriving at the Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel at 9:00 AM , we didn't expect to check-in and to have complimentary breakfast at that, but they were already expecting us!  It was just a welcome surprise especially because we were up since 1:30AM.  Just because of that, I will be a loyal customer to them!  I loved the service and I thought worth every hard earned peso.

At the Continental Club Lounge for breakfast

Our home for the next three days

After a short nap in our nice hotel room, we went down to Harbour City.  My favorite clothing store COS was already in Harbour City and I almost went crazy, especially because their stylish clothes came in my size!  Purchased my clothing quota for the year :-)  Aside from COS, we went to all our favorite shops just to see what's new.

We shopped and mostly window-shopped till it was time to meet our dear friend RW in Lan Kwai Fong (LKF).  We looked forward to this because it's been so long since we've been there.  RW chose Mayta, a hip and happening (hip-hap) Peruvian restaurant.   We had a great time, but missed the gang!  We finished all the food we ordered, which included a suckling pig and a beef dish, plus appetizers.  We also had mixed drinks to go with the food. Thanks RW for taking time to have dinner with us!

RW and I wished that we wore high heels as what the party girls were wearing in LKF especially since I had a newly bought pair of heels.   But  we really doubted we could make it because we had to take the MTR and then climb up the cobblestoned hill.  Maybe we will just put our heels in our big bag until we reach the restaurant and then change into our heels then.  That will be for the next night out in LKF, hopefully with the other gurlz!
