Hong Kong Recap

I'm too tired and I don't feel like writing a long blog post, so bullet points will do:

• It was amazing to see my family and my best friend - time flew by, and i'm happy I got to see them, but now i'm sad that i'm alone in the US again.
  
• I had an okay time shopping - bought a pair of Tod's flats (on sale), a pair of Louboutin heels (on sale), and some clothes. I expected to come home with a lot more loot (like purses, more shoes) but unfortunately this time around I just wasn't feeling whatever was (or wasn't) on sale. I actually got quite frustrated after trying on a cute pair of Ferragamo pumps, realizing they were too big, and finding out none of the Ferragamo stores in all of HK had my size left. Bah. I was so frustrated in fact, that I went online, and got myself a pair of Prada pumps that I have been lusting after. They were on sale from $600 to $225. Not a bad deal at all.
• By the way, I never pay full price for my designer shoes, unless they are classics that never go out of style. But my Louboutin pumps are classic, it's just that the stupid US doesn't have them on sale. Boo US!
• I ate a lot of good food, I am afraid to step on the scale now, but my best friend said she gained 10 lbs and she was only there for three days
• Going to HK when there is a typhoon is not so much fun. Carrying an oversized purse, shopping bags, and an umbrella, while the typhoon is dumping buckets of rain on you, is just not cool.
• Walking around HK while hung over is not a good idea. Getting off a 13.5 hour flight, skipping dinner, then go partying and drinking until 3 am does not make for a great morning. Yes, I forced myself to throw up in one of the bathrooms at IFC mall. I felt a lot better afterwards. Haven't done that in a while!!
• I was hungry all the time because of all the walking we did.
  
• I love HK and realized that after a few more years here, I want to live the expat lifestyle. It's how I grew up, and I miss it dearly. Now is not the time, but soon!
• A lot of my friends commented on how happy I looked in my pictures...and I was truly happy. I haven't felt so happy and whole in a very long time.

I am sure i'm missing out a lot of things, but I have some unpacking to do, and I just want to sleep. I feel a bit disoriented after such a long flight, and need to find my bearings. Find me on facebook for pictures if you're interested. I'd make a collage, but I don't have Photoshop on my laptop yet.
