Kyna's in town and I'm a Tourist

Kyna was in town for a day, so we met up for lunch. We went for Islamic food - and i really have to say, the food here is truly mind-blowing. The picture can't do the food justice, nor can words, so I will not even try.


After that we walked around in Mong Kok, which is a extremely packed roadside shopping district with various stalls, small shops, and roadside eateries. Each street has a different theme. There is one street devoted to fishes, lizards and other pets such chinchillas. I remember this area well. One of my customary trips when I came to HK every year as a child was to go to Mong Kok and get a Dragonball Z sweatshirt.


After Kyna left, I decided to get the tourist traps out of the way - so I headed to Avenue of the Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui. Well, touristy or not, the view of the Hong Kong Island skyline was quite amazing, and the promenade itself was quite pleasant and large enough that one could easily find a spot to tune out the massive hordes of people and just gaze across the river into the bright neon.
