5. Does this look similar to a Kelly bag?

10. My son likes looking at wines and liquors. This Macallan 1978 scotch whisky is priced at HK$22,950 or roughly 140,000 pesos.
I told the store staff to return it to the shelf. We might knock it off naku poo.

13. Night street vendors selling gadget cases, toys, stockings, hair clips, etc.
14. My bag was so heavy kasi I brought old HK dollar coins from previous HK travels. Aba marami rin kaming nabili like noodle soup, mango juice (Hui Lau Shan).
Looks like a great trip. HOpe you continue to have fun and great eats. I think that bag is Anya Hindmarch-inspired. I love the AM stuff. Very fun in traditional shapes.
