Hong Kong Disneyland

While I alight at Sunny bay station waiting for train to takeoff to Disneyland resort station I've started to  snap photos already! Like a kid I can’t wait to board that miracle train that brings me to fantasy world although the duration of the rides merely more than 10 mins and trust me it’s not enough! 


I'll just let these pictures do the talking







Purchase your ticket at the counter and during that period it was Toy Story as the cover.  



There's 7 park for you to cover and you will need at least a day to explore and not to worry there will be map and pamphlet provided. My favorite park are 

                                                    1. Toy Story Land
                                                    2.Grizzly Gulch
                                                    3. Tomorrowland
                                                    3. Adventureland



Got the Duffy coins from one of the coin press machine near the toilet and not to forget I also brought a duffy home! 
Hungry? Don't worry the food here ain't bad! It taste as good as it looks. We had our lunch at one of the fast food place near Toy story park which have a Buzz mascot.

Shopping Guide In Hong Kong Part 2

My last post of Hong Kong Shopping guide is all about reseller shops and today I will list down the Flag shops.

Understand that Singapore does have AAPE and Bape. But still the things in Hong Kong are definitely cheaper and their stores interior concept is awesome! When I was there Last year November there isn't any AAPE open in Singapore yet so it's was in my to go itinerary. 

AAPE
Shop B225B, Times Square, 1 Matheson Street
MTR - Causeway Bay (Exit A)

+852 2886 4682



This bape store is linked together with I.T and there's also bape kids there as well. Back in 2010 before Bape store relocate, they were located at Central besides MacDonald and it's build in 2 or 3 storey high? With a wall of Bape shoes and sneaker but unfortunately they don't allow us to take photos. (They still don't allow though)

Bape

I went to both stores and the things that they have are pretty much the same. So if you had tight schedule go to the one at Causeway bay, Fashion Walk. The reason behind is there's a huge ass CLOT for you to take selfie! hahah 

Chrome Hearts

MTR - Central (Exit H)
Mon - Sat: 11am - 7pm
Sun & PH: 12pm - 6pm

MTR - East Tsim Sha Tsui (Exit L3)
Mon-Sun: 10am - 7pm
+852 2739 6113

I would prefer the store at Prince building then the one at peninsula hotel because their staff is more friendly. However, there was not much size and design for their tees "as always" because they kept those stocks for their regular customer to buy. Which i think is those re-seller bosses cause they wipe out all the stocks and resell in higher prices and so tourist like us couldn't find any size nor design and got to buy in their shops. Which is why i could only find accessories in their stores. 



Hoods

10 Ice House Street
MTR - Central (Exit H)
Mon - Sun: 11am - 8pm
+852 2162 8009

G/F, New World Tower
MTR - Central (Exit D1)
Mon - Sun: 10.30am - 7.30pm

I was hoping to get any past season tees from Givenchy but i couldn't find any not even latest design.  And i was told by the sales personnel that when the new arrival are here people grab it FAST. 

All information are based on last November so do double check the location and etc beforeplanning your itinerary.

Shopping Guide In Hong Kong Part 1

Our Hong Kong Trip was last year November and frankly speaking we did a lot of research on where to get streetwear as there's a lot of reseller there as well as those flag stores like Chrome Hearts, Clot, FIL, I.T and etc. 

 So for high end brands like Givenchy, Alexandra McQueen, Rick Owen, Balmain, Thom Browne and etc could be found at shops like JOYCE; which engaged in many internationally renowned fashion brands.  However, they have many stores and each outlet sells different like for example the outlet in Causeway bay has it but harbour city doesn't. So if you have any specific items in mind just go to one of the outlet and ask them to check which outlet has it.

There are many other outlets besides the one I listed above, do check out their website for further information.

Now if you're looking for re-seller shop that sells streetwear brands like Supreme, Wtaps, Neighbourhood, Original fake and etc it could be found in most of the reseller shops. However, things to be aware of is that there are so many reseller shop in Hong Kong which one is selling legit or replica items you would need to check before you purchase.

These are the shops that I went to during my trip,  basically theses shops consolidated from Hypebeast and other forums.

Lastly, if you really have a tight itinerary you might want to skip all of above reseller shops and head straight to Mong Kok! Cause there’s this place called Trendy Zone 潮流特區. It's located at basement level with lot's of shops selling Jordan, new balance and other clothing brands. I brought my Green glow and new balance there.

Almost all of the photos in these post is not mine cause usually those shop don't allow you to take photos of their premises.
