Hong Kong & Shenzhen, Shopping Paradise

It was another overseas opportunity for Jai albeit a working one....so I tagged along as usual and this time...it was to Hong Kong and Shenzhen. I had already been to Hong Kong for a conference in 1999, but I was more than happy to get reacquainted with the place again!

Arrived in Hong Kong and the organiser brought us to Shenzhen in a luxurious MPV. Checked into Pavilion Hotel.

The swimming pool and many other facilities are located on the rooftop.

Went shopping at Lowu Shopping Centre. You can find anything and everything here and bargaining is a skill that shoppers should equip themselves with!



Had dinner at Sky Paradise on the 50th floor of Panglin Hotel. The view was magnificent and the buffet....scrumptuous!




Left for Hong Kong the next day.

The view from the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

Since Jai had to attend the convention at the HK Convention and Exhibition Centre, I walked from the centre to Causeway Bay (quite familiar with the place as I stayed at the Excelsior Hotel in Causeway Bay when I was there for a conference in 1999. He joined me once the convention was over.

Check out how clean the MTR station is.

Our hotel room at the Harbour Plaza Hotel

The organiser brought us shopping at the Women Street (Lui Yan Kai) and then dinner. Cannot remember where but the Peking duck was excellent.


Then we went up to Victoria Peak to enjoy the breathtaking view!




Then we took the ferry for lunch on Jumbo, the floating restaurant.




Yes! We also had the chance to visit the HK Disneyland. It's very much smaller than the one that I went to in LA sometime in 1998 but it was just as exciting nontheless!















We explored the Harbour Plaza hotel that night.

In the morning, we were greeted by the gorgeous view from our hotel window!

That's us...doing some last minute shopping near the hotel!
