so after 4 days straight working mentally exhausting days... I finally got a chance to get out and see some of Hong Kong!
We had to walk through this train station to go to an ATM, then get in a cab to the market... apparently this was a really stupid thing to do in a cab... I was like "Oh is it dumb to do this?" and my co-workers were super nice and basically said whatever it's OK to do stupid shit your first time in a new country haha.
I was also FINALLY able to experience the real "market" experience when we were pulled into an alley to look at "Chanel" "Louis Vuitton" and "Coach" bags... Neither of us were gonna buy a bag and I wouldn't let my coworker go by herself, but she told me I had to get the full experience. It's pretty funny, but also a little scary, like how scary movies start, haha!
This chick was HELLA giving me the side-eye when I was taking this pic with some stunners on-
(Do I spy Kate in that pic Stacey??)
We walked by this ummmm. "restaurant" and they had all this on display and real fish there... it looked beautiful and smelled appetizing but there was no way in hell I was gonna eat it!
I have no idea what "PINKO" is, but these were like at EVERY booth so I had to finally just take a picture? Any of you know what it is??? Are the chicks bending over? What is going on here? haha
some LIEpods... (these are NOT iPods, haha) they had fake iPads too...
I really do not know what was going on at this "massage" parlor... but I imagine they were offering more than masssages!
here... wash your brain out with some religious hologram sunglasses... I REALLY wanted to get the Mary or Jesus ones... but we were on our way out and the shop owner was giving me the evil eye for trying them on for too long!
Before I get to the best part... I had to take pics of these funny signs and shirts... I REALLY wanted the one that says "ALL MY FRIENDS ARE TROUBLEMAKER" but they would not BUDGE on price!!!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention! I was so good at bargaining... I don't know what happened I am usually too scared, but I was just balls out and totally lowballing some of them and they would accept or make a deal! It was so fun!
with such classics as "NO GAME I WILL DIZZY LAZY CRAZY" and "NO FART IN CAR"
I figured a photograph would be smarter (& cheaper) than buying each one that made me laugh!
and FINALLY... Pièce de résistance... counterfeit Harajuku Lovers... I know we are supposed to get all mad and the knockoff business is bad and wrong and stuff... But I just can't help but feel that fake HL being at the Kowloon Night Market means Harajuku Lovers has really made it!!!
I think my favorite was the "SPEUR HOE FLMATE" which I am still laughing about!
some of it was really close to the art on real HL... but some of it was WAY off!
and I will leave you with some good advice...
"TEKE A CHANSE YOO STPUID HOE"
