We kicked off the day with a visit to the Western Market. The guide books recommend a visit and it's on our door step in our neighbourhood. It's a three story market of local goods and textiles, but really it wasn't great.

We walked to the IFC mall via one of the midtown elevated walkways. We were a little surprised to find 1000's of women all camped out along the walkways. They didn't look homeless and they all were engaged in chatting and picnicking. It turned out they are the local Filipino community, who have Sunday off. They gather in their 1000s' like this on a Sunday to chat and gossip!

We revisited the IFC mall before connecting with the metro and heading to the bigger Elements mall on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong.

It was a day of malls for us as we headed to the City Harbour mall next which is MASSIVE. It took us a few hours to get around all the floors. We didn't leave empty handed.

Leaving the mall a breathtaking view across to Hong Kong Island greeted us. You simply can't tire of this view.

| We found this funny - McDonalds serves rice and broccoli with their meals here! |
We headed a little north to Mong Kok to take in some of the night markets.

We got back to apartment just after midnight and stayed in to relax and shake our colds.
