We took the MTR back to \u00e6\u2014\u00ba\u00e8\u00a7\u2019 Mongkok. Lazy to walk all the way back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drop by Wing Shing to get Jiahui’s UV filter, we also bought a bottle of bubble bath from The Body Shop. The ones that we bought on Day 01 was unsatisfying – The bubbles produced were too little and won’t last.<\/p>\n
