My Sloppy Sham Shui Po Weekend & Dirty Old Man Discovery


Where did I go last weekend? One of my favorite places in Hong Kong, Sham Shui Po, Ap Liu Street Market. It's an old district full of suprisingly delightful discoveries, ranging from cheap electronics, computer thingies, second hand stuff, and many more!

My Missions:
- Adaptor for new lamp
- Cheap but nice earphones
- Try NOT to buy any "antiques"/"vintage" stuff
- Cheap, good food
- Funny pictures


What did I wear? I needed something comfy, something sloppy, yet still cute.
Bossini's yellow M&M cotton sweater (isn't that cute?), Cotton On's blue and white stripy skirt, and a pair of Havaianas white flip flops (not in this picture), and my brown H&M sling bag

What were the sightings?

Look at all of those adorable oldies! I wanted them all...but I was turned off by how high they priced those things. What a rip off, I successfully left each shop without buying anything. Score!


This stand sells adorable, plain sneakers, mostly in white or navy. I took a mental note and will get back later to get all of them, when sous chef isn't with me. HAHA!


The only time I felt lucky for not being able to read Chinese. Otherwise, imagine how hard it is to resist these used comic books?

...and an interesting discovery of Hong Kong's notorious DOM (Dirty Old Men)

A flock of uncles were leafing through some old porns in a very very public setting. Hey...I have nothing against it, there's nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, they should be proud that they are still that healthy, right?


This shot? Priceless!

The vendor snatched the magazine off poor uncle's hands and scolded him...somewhere along the line of "This isn't a library, you freaking fool!"

How about the good food? Read about it at Mochachocolata-Rita's.
