All Brand Names - best deal

So here we are again in Hong Kong.
Mama is happy. She's in the middle of the ladies shopping area in Mong Kok. This is candy for her. To me it's the land of mispelt t-shirts.
But I did manage to get my camera bag. So my mission was complete here.
Then we saw a team of fraud police taking photos and video. But I didn't see too many vendors packing up their Oakley sunglasses and Coach bags and hiding them from view of the POh-lees.
There was going to be a take down happening!

Her only complaint was the quality of the fakes just wasn't the same as before in Korea. What's the matter with these people. They should be reprimanded for producing poor quality counterfeit branded stuff for the quality minded people who can't afford the real stuff.

The flight over from Singapore wasn't too bad. A bit of a late flight arriving at 10:30pm HK time. Kieran was beat. And so were we.

All the kids here in Asia go to bed late. I saw babies still up in Kowloon way past 9:30pm. Even 10:30pm.
But the next day was a different story. Kieran seemed to be tireless and was up until midnight.

But he did sleep for about 2 hrs while we wandered around Mong Kok.

I guess if you can't make a branded fake very well is to advertise that you have 'No Brands' at all like this store.

We hung out at Susan and Paul's office for a bit before heading out to the city. We couldn't find Paul working because he was getting our Beijing travel plans together, but we did find Susan slaving away at her desk making sure that everything was running smoothly.
And Kieran was there to help her out with managing Paul's expenses.


Our last stop was TST. Don't ask me to say the name of the MTR station because I'll butcher it. But we ended up finding Carman staring mindlessly at the lights at the star ferry mall.

This is the first time she's seen Kieran since the day he was born.
She still looks the same. Same beady eyes.
