Day 324 Saturday - Hong Kong, facial at Sulwahsoo

I have heard so much about this Korean brand facial service.. I tried their products which mainly is using ginseng .. I like the concept and has always envied the Korean women's flawless, poreless and radiant skin..
So I finally got my experience..

The beauty center is in canton road in Kowloon 

Canton road, this is  luxe street ...
this is where mainland tourist would
come to get a price of famous brands

Day 325 Friday - Hong Kong, Happy Friday!

Another enjoyable evening after a hard day at work .. Cleaning up and clearing up junk! It's really good detoxing exercise .. I should be doing this more regularly like every quarter...

Dinner at bistecca with work colleague !

Virgin Mary... Good source of vitamin c

Meat, meat ,meat...

Today I am thankful for my work, nice company for Friday evening!

Day 326 - thursday- Hong Kong, Ladies night!

Enjoyable night with some girlfriends! 
Pretty stress reliever but at the same time gets me thinking of some questions ... 
- Will I really not try ivf again? My girlfriend is over 45 and failed 4 ivfs but still not giving up! I respect her courage and determination... 
- Will I do that? I don't have the answer.,,

Meanwhile dinner was good. A reminder of cozy izakaya in japan.


Delicious yakitori!

Days 327- Wednesday - Hong Kong and the Mini bus

Usually my darling husband is my official driver to and fro office ( lol) but from time  to time, I enjoy the public transportation in hk.

It's a short ride to causeway bay from my place by mini bus..

Mini bus concept is  very hong kong talong with tram.

Mini buses usually sits 16 passengers and do not allow standing passengers. They supplement the regular or big bus service route and serve mostly residential estate , so it's very convenient.

You can stop anywhere by pressing the bell or just shout "stop here, stop bus stop, stop at xyz estate"

Usually they only charges 5 to 15 hkd .

They go really fast as drivers earn money with as many passengers in a short period of time, like taxi..,

I definitely recommend seatbelts fasten when you take mini bus.

But it's truly hk experience !

Day 328- Tuesday- Hong kong, Great shopping area

It's great to work in the heart of shopping area!
