HK Trip (Day 2) – Chapter 2: Imagination

I need you to visualise with me here. Think about where you would go if you wish to visit some nicely decorated cafes to chill out with your friends. Think about where you would go for some really good Dim Sum and if Dim Sum is not what’s in your mind, think about all the local delights. Or perhaps some decent Japanese food like Genki Sushi. Think about where you would go if you wish to shop for some top grade imported bathroom accessories. And where you would go if you wish to buy electronic gadgets and computers, music and games.

Now imagine where you would go if you wish to visit showrooms of some of the world’s most prestigious car brands. Just to name a few: Lexus, Lamborghini, Maserati. Or the famous but not as prestigious ones – Saab, Alpha Romeo, and other Japanese brands. Imagine where you would go if you wish to buy a Yacht and wish to take a look at a real life version of a Jet Ski.

I am not done with you yet! Imagine how many music shops you need to visit in order to see a good guitar collection of Gibson, Warwick, and Taylors – just to name a few. Now I am not talking about just 10 or 20 Gibson guitars on display but more than a hundred of them. Some of them are so rare that make your heart skips a beat.

Throw in a nice hotel and a few posh nightclubs – some are members only. All of the above, my friends, are just within a 5 mins walking radius of where I live. It is hard to imagine when you are in Singapore but in Hong Kong, it is right in front of your eyes.
