Of Wet Markets and Graffiti

It's been awhile since I've been updating this space and it's time to get back at it. Life is not exactly a bed of roses- I'm struggling with many things at the moment. But after all, Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. I needed a break from it all so I booked a flight to Hong Kong to visit 2 of my best friends from University.

They were such dears and planned the entire itinerary for our weekend together in Hong Kong. I wanted to do what the ordinary locals do - to really soak in the culture and enjoy life like a regular Hong Kong resident. I met them at 11am on Saturday for Dim Sum at a regular dim sum chain, called New Star. Dim Sum is one of my comfort food - I love Char Siew Baos. Piping hot Char siew baos with soft and fluffy skin and barbecue pork that melts in your mouth. Just a little piece of Heaven. We ventured through the markets before getting to the Light Bus Stop to hop on a bus to Stanley.

I don't ever go to the wet markets in Singapore, so here I was- Wandering around the market with my H50 and snapping away.







 As much as it might smell, outdoor markets don't ever lose their charm. Someone everything seems a bit livelier and fresher then shopping in a supermarket. Another thing I liked about the area was the grafitti that dotted the walls. It just adds so much character to the place.





The queue for the bus was pretty long. Each public light bus can only take 16 people. But that meant we would definitely get a seat. Plus for 9.6HKD, it's really affordable.
