Hong is such an energetic city and everything there is fast paced; people eat fast, walk fast, and even the elevators are fast. The streets are jam packed with people on the move all the time, thus there can be more than 10 coffee shops on the same street. It´s truly a city that never sleeps. Most people don´t eat dinner until after 10pm. I love how I was able to walk down any street after midnight and I was still able to grab an awesome meal and get a pedicure.

My favorite part of the experience is the shopping! There is a ton of luxury shopping complexes (like Pavilion or Lot 10), or if you are on a budget like me, try normal shopping complexes like Sungei Wang. Stanley is awesome for its bustling shops and markets, a perfect place for a girl to hang out.
