A Great Weekend

Hey Everyone! Here's my latest update. Thursday we went to Tuen Mun Shopping Center again, to look around and do some more exploring. At night we went to the "Ladies Market" located in Mong Kok. It was packed with people and there were hundreds of vendors selling their knock-off products! After walking through the "Ladies Market" we decided to take the MTR to Tsim Shia Tsui and just look around. We ended up on the Avenue of the Stars which is located on Victoria Harbour, and the view was spectacular. We got to see Hong Kong Island lit up at night! Friday, we ventured to Causeway Bay and Pacific Place and did some more shopping/ looking around. One of the girls I traveled with from Augustana has an aunt who lives in Hong Kong. So, Friday night we went to Sunny's Aunt's (Mrs. Lee) home and ate dinner. The views from her Aunt's home were amazing! Saturday, we went on a boat/yacht with Sunny's family. All Saturday we just relaxed and enjoyed the weather in Repulse Bay. Everything is so beautiful here! Some pictures may appear a little blurry, but it is due to all the smog! See the pictures below!
