"Shopping in Hong Kong has been categorized from 'social activity' to a 'serious sport.' It is an important part of the culture and a way of life. Few cities in the world can rival the experience from an economic, business or social standpoint. Hong Kong's culture is very much dominated by consumerism." - Wikipedia

This is one of the worst and best things about living in HK. Worst because there's so much superficial "stuff" to distract you. Best because there are crazy sales and cool products.

But I DON'T BUY STUFF. Really. "Stuff" annoys me. I "shop," as in walk around malls and streets and without buying anything. And I REALLY don't buy brands like Prada but I don't buy no-names either because they'll just fall apart or get nubby or not fit.

But once in a while I come across "crazy" sales and I go crazy. As in 70% off... which was true of the 5 things I bought last Saturday. I'm just walking around minding my own business when I come across... a scene of shoes and clothes flying everywhere... at what used to be one of my favorite stores (I.T. Sale Shop). It hasn't been my favorite lately because it hasn't been cheap enough. But it was cheap. And I bought three pairs of shoes for HK$930 or so.

OK I know the first and second pair look scary but they are REALLY nice on. I love Rebecca Taylor:
