Welcome home ♥

Hello everyone!!
Todays post is going to be dedicated to my trip to Hong Kong this summer! We only stayed one week in Hong Kong and another week in Bangkok! I really, really wanted to blog about this because
this is the best thing that has happened to me this year (better than my graduation haha)

It's actually my second time in Hong Kong but I could honestly go there every summer (thats how much I love it!!!) ♥

I'm going to blog about my time in Bangkok in my next post because putting everything in one post would be way too much XD

I hope you'll enjoy my photos~

Düsseldorf → Hong Kong

This is such a typical plane photo hahaha but the sunset looked really pretty..

The food was really good!!! I love plane food so much .. I ate my mom's food too because she didn't want to eat it haha

Sham Shui Po - Dragon Center

We went to the Dragon Center in Sham Shui Po and also to a really big shopping center for computer stuff but I didn't take pics of it >.<

This was my breakfast/lunch there! Japanese Curry with an omelette and small pork chops in it, it was really good and super cheap!! I definitely think Dragon Centre has a really nice food court too hehe

They had so many fun games there and even one of these claw machines with small alpacas in it ♥

If you like Kpop you HAVE to go here!!

One thing I really loved about HK is that they had really cute cakes everywhere!!

Look at this perfection ...for only like 20$ a cake??? what haha

I really loved how the strawberry ones looked like ;-; so cute !!

We also went to a huge supermarket called 'Taste' in Festival Walk where they have a huge variety of groceries and also a lot of yummy baked goods >.< ♥

I liked the one with a sausage the best omg

...and these sponge cakes looked sososo good !!! I could eat tons of them and never get enough

They had so many cosmetic stores here in HK..it's crazy!

I really liked how this Innisfree store looks *-*

And of course Etude House ♥-♥

Skinfood!!!

Causeway Bay

We also went to Causeway Bay just to see what it's like on the other side of Hong Kong and it's really different! The air is a lot cleaner and it's not that hot somehow? haha. I feel like you can find more high end brands there especially in shopping malls like 'Fashion Walk' or 'Sogo'.

Spongebob exhibition :D

We also took the chance to take one of those 'Ding Ding Trams' but it was super hot and crowded there so we got out after 2 or 3 stops!

This is what streets in HK usually look like

Prince Edward - One Dim Sum

This Dim Sum place was like a secret gem! It's a Michelin starred restaurant !!!

But you had to wait 30min. outside (in the heat) to get a table!

When we finally got in.. the food was so good omg. They let you sit and eat there peacefully too... I was expecting them to kick us out as soon as we finished eating but they didn't eventho it was super crowded and they had a super long line outide! I definitely recommend going there if you're not a big group because otherwise you'll have to wait there for an eternity haha

Hong Kong Park

We also went to this park because it's something totally different compared to the busy and loud streets in HK.

You can see some really modern buildings from here

and also a nice garden and many sees and waterfalls!

This is just a photo I took on our way home! I'm super impressed by how clean the subway in HK is! It's MUCH cleaner than in Germany and I love that there's a train every 3 to 5 min.?

Tsim Sha Tsui

Of course, we also went shopping in Tsim Sha Tsui.

We went to Food Republic in Silvercord and got some nice food first >.< !

I loved those Takoyakis..the sauce was sososo good !!

We bought a Takoyaki pan after trying them haha

I also took the chance to go to Muji and buy some sweets there ♥

They had SO MUCH food omg ... we don't have food in our Muji T_T

why is Muji so nice there? ;___;

Harbour

We went to the Harbour in Tsim Sha Tsui at night because it's awesome to see the lights on the other side! My dad was so excited because he really wanted to go here at night and take some pics, I feel so bad tho because we didn't even stay here that long because it started to rain and this place was kind of like his only wish :-(

Well , maybe we can come here next time again and stay longer :-(

Citygate Outlet HK

We also went to an outlet mall on our last day because it was on our way to the airport but honestly it's not worth it if you're from the US or Europe because all those high end brands are still cheaper there than when they're on 50% off sale in HK~

Last time in Sasa..what an emotional event :'-( I miss Sasa so much omg

Mannings at the airport..I miss Mannings so much too T_T

And also my last meal in Hong Kong..I'm tearing up because I miss everything so much

...... but I will definitely come back !!! ♥♥♥

See you next time, Hong Kong ! ♥

Hello everyone!
Today I would like to share some photos from my trip to Italy this summer.
I just came back a couple of days ago and thought it would be nice to do a personal post where I can show you some photos of my Italy trip! I'm not sure if anyone is interested in looking at my photos haha but I just had to blog about it because I regret not blogging anything about my trip to Hong Kong last summer ㅠ.ㅠ not gonna do the same mistake again !

This post is going to be photo-heavy because I took soo many photos and couldn't decide which one to use for this post because all of them look so beautiful and important hehe~

I hope you will enjoy this post ! ♥

Day 1 ♥

The flight to Florence was alright but I was really scared to get into the plane at first because it was really small. Only about 60 people could fit into the plane and there were only like 2 flight attendants ;-; The flight was 1 hour and 40 minutes long~

When we arrived we immediately got into a taxi and drove to our hotel. Above are some photos I took near our hotel. The taxi driver ripped us off, he wanted to have 10$ more than it showed on his taximeter -___-".

The buildings and the city in general look really beautiful! Most buildings there are pastel colored and had this antique look with them (which I absolutely loved ! ♥). Here are some photos of some buildings I took in the first few days:

You can see the famous 'Ponte Vecchio' ("Old Bridge") in the background~ I seriously love the river side and the bridges here in Italy! You can tell by how many photos I took of them haha~

We went to the famous undercover food hall 'Mercato Centrale'. It is said that the bread here has its own soul lmao.. ((it was super dry!! ;~; and expensive)).. Food is super expensive (and not good ;o;) here because they shamelessly take advantage of the tourism. You have to pay service costs (2 to 3$ per person) and you even have to pay if you want to sit down -___-^ (outside 3$ and inside 2.50$ per person omg -__-). They're trying to rip you off !
