Hello! So I'm still in Hong Kong, and I'm still having an amazing time. Anyway, so when
I was wondering around the other day - which is my preferred method of travelling when
I go overseas - I got kind of lost, but then trying to find my way back home I found this
whole area which is just this kitschy, crafters, DIY-ers, hipster paradise. I'd actually liken
the area to a "mini-Harajuku". And I call it a "mini-Harajuku" because well, for one,
one of my favourite shops there, called Bunkaya Zakkaten, actually originated in Harajuku!

So there was no way I could leave that place
without buying some stuff. This is what I got.
A super creepy pen. Blinking eyeball earrings.
And like, the BEST buttons of all time. Oh, and these!

Adding to the Japanese-Harajuku atmosphere
of the place, I came across this Japanese bookstore called "Tomato Books".
[excited:"It's a Japanese bookstore!"] They've got Japanese magazines, shelves of
lookbooks from Japanese designers for the new season, AND a cake cafe!
Then, there's G-square, which is a little complex of 20 or so shops, selling everything
from small designer labels to cute socks, handmade jewellery, some of the BEST shoes
I've ever seen, and patches! And I bought SO many patches.
And they're all iron-on patches so they're going to be going on so many of my clothes.
And then I spotted some sparkly shoes.

These are from Monki, which is also on Granville Road. I also came across this cool craft shop,
which I wanted to go into, but it was closed! Which was such a shame because I peeked through
the window and it looked so cute! But, anyway, next time.
And then off Granville Road there's all these cute little alleyways and this thing called
Granville Circuit which has amazing looking Ramen, street-food and the shops of smaller,
independent Hong Kong and Japanese designers. But, probably the most impressive thing about
Granville Road - they have *another* Me & George!

Now if you watched my last video, I went kinda nuts at this vintage thrift shop. Me and George
is this chain of thrift shops that are all around Hong Kong, but this one on Granville
Road has to be the best one that I've found so far. And this is what I bought!

[record scratch sound effect]
By the way - what exactly is a "Hambacker"? Does anyone else know what that's supposed
to mean? Oh well!
[music resumes playing]
Of course, Hong Kong isn't all about the shopping!
And I've been doing a lot more than that - I'm just having an amazing time actually experiencing
all this stuff at the moment so I probably won't get around to vlogging about it until
I'm back in Sydney. But - I've accumulated at least 50GB of video footage from walking
around so I promise I'll upload it all soon. Anyway I hope you're all having a really good
day, and that you enjoyed this video! And I'll see you later. Bye!
