Day 2: Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui

After our satisfying breakfast at Tim Ho Wan, we took a train from Yau Ma Tei MTR to Causeway Bay, to shop at Times Square.
We saw this poster at the MTR station. I said the woman looked like Wong Li Lin and my sister insisted that she wasn't.

My parents and sister decided that they needed the toilet at the MTR station and we couldn't find the toilet. My sister had to speak into this gadget to ask the staff for assistance to the toilet!

After the staff tells you the direction, another staff would come round to bring you there personally. The toilet was a long way off where we stood and it was a hassle to get to the toilet indeed!
Lesson learnt: if your hotel is nearby, please go back to the hotel room's toilet.


出前一丁 - do you remember this fellow? The MTR station was plastered with its instant noodles advertisements. Even the audio was taken care of - we were surrounded by the slurping sound of the noodles!

A poster asking you to refrain from eating in the train, and 'eat slowly' after you alight

I thought this poster is so cute. The hedgehog has his spikes shaved and is recommending the other hedgehogs the 'most effective way to shed your hair'.

We saw this ceiling fan at Toastbox in Times Square. Very nice!

Basically, Times Square is a multi-storey shopping mall. 7 stories if I remember correctly. Loads of high-end shops eg. Gucci, Polo Ralph selling leather goods. No LV though. We bought clothes at Zara as it seems to be selling clothes at cheaper prices than in Singapore, but the material appears to be thinner too.

The hand grasp



They have this emergency button at the start of the escalator. Such a gadget will surely be tampered with before it can assume its official duty in Singapore.


We did a bit of shopping here.
Coco was so bored and tired by our shopping that she took a nap right there and then. She perked up when I asked if she wanted to have her Durian Pancake dessert.
Getting to Times Square:
1) Causeway Bay MTR. It's linked to the mall.

Getting to H&M and Harbour City:
1) I can only remember exiting at Tsim Sha Tsui MTR and following the road signs to the malls.
